I’m typing this post while connected to my Time Capsule router. You’d never know that from looking at the Airport Utility, which can’t identify the router on the network. Never run into this problem before updating to Snow Lion.
Fun aside: last night my MBP couldn’t find its backup images on the router. The ‘solution’ was to delete the existing image bundle on the Time Capsule – I could navigate to them in Finder – and then OSX could see the Time Capsule and backup to it.
Rob Graham has a good look at the challenges facing SandForce controllers – which are used by a large number of the solid state hard drives on the consumer market – as related to disk encryption. I highly recommend reading it but, if you just don’t have the time, here’s the key takeaway: “The problem with a SandForce controller is that all its features are lost when using full disk encryption, but all its downsides remain. Thus, if you plan on using an SSD for your notebook computer, you should plan on getting something other than a SandForce controller.”
