Q: Can I use an old TC as a wifi bridge *and* an external hard drive?  If so, how?

I just bought a 3 TB Time Capsule and have been using my old 1 TB Time Capsule as a bridge for wifi - can I also use it as an external hard drive to store photos (off my computer)?  How?

    For sure the old TC can still be used.. with the proviso that it will die suddenly one day and recovery of the data is not easy.

     

    The method is simple.. mount the hard disk of the 1TB TC in finder.. create a folder on the TC disk for your photos.. drag or copy and paste your files to the TC.
