IMHO, buy an external SSD hard drive and set up Time Machine to whatever settings you prefer.

I would go with a 5400 drive because they are built better IMHO! I. would go with the 5400 sense you being Wi-Fi so consider a drive like 4T IronWolf drive and use the web site I-FixIT airport drive replacement for guide! IHMO this is way I would go! so I hope you can use this suggestion!

If you're swapping the 2TB disk in your Airtime Capsule, a 4TB 3.5" SATA drive should work fine. Go for one with 7200 RPM for better speed, and make sure it's SATA III (6Gbps) for the best performance. Stick to solid brands like Seagate, WD, or Toshiba. Just double-check that the drive fits and works with the Capsule’s power needs.
