Do I need an additional external hard drive if I have the AirPort Time Capsule?
I'm completely out of space on my MacBook Air, so I purchased the AirPort Time Capsule to back up my data and to function as an external hard drive. Then I could delete some of those files from the Mac. But now people are telling me that I shouldn't use it as a hard drive, that I need to purchase an additional hard drive, using the AirPort Time Capsule for backups for both. Does anyone from Apple have an answer for me?

Best Answer:
The AirPort Time Capsule can be used for both! You can use it as an external hard drive, and as a backup as well.
