Yes. In addition to working with the Time Machine application, you can access it via your network and it will mount on your desktop as would any other volume. You can connect directly via ethernet for your first full backup or when copying large files, as that is much faster than even spec-N wireless.
Great review. I was thinking of getting one when they released the new version but held off per the price was a little high compared to buying a new router and seperate hard drive but still have not made up my mind.
Question!: I have a mac mini with 120gb and i want to use the TIme capsule for installing apps, can i do this? and will it run well?
thanks for the review

I've been considering getting this and wondering if I can use it as a regular external hard drive?
Just drag and drop specific things that I wanna backup basically, and also use it for a wireless router.

i use a pc & mac external hard drive - compatible with time machine ... £40 off amazon!
i'm surprised people go for the apple one actually. i'm an apple fanboy all the one, but it just seems a little crazy!

@j2dixon I haven't had any problems with it so far. I've done several backups and restores. It still performs really well.
