Time Capsule Hard Drive?

I currently use my NV+ for backup and video streaming. I'm considering taking the videos off my NV+ and purchasing a Time Capsule for video streaming instead (since I need to replace my Airport Extreme anyway), but I have a few questions.

1. Can the internal Time Capsule drive be setup as just a regular drive versus a TC backup drive?
3. How will the SATA 2 performance of the TC compare to the NV+ for video streaming?

Thanks!

  • Yes the time capsule can be set up as a regular drive, I used mine to stream to ATV (CrystalUbuntu).. You can set up shares with AFP ans SMB..
