How reliable is the Time Capsule?

hi,

i'm in doubt. need disk space , switch apple product wireless network (too many disconnects on linksys router)

leaves me 2 options:

1. airport extreme usb disk attached (later maybe synology nas or likes).

2. time capsule expandable usb drive or nas later on.

disk used movie streaming media player (how easy this?)

however, i'm hearing/reading quite lot of horror stories time capsules being failure prone. power supplies dieing sooner or later.....

how reliable really? solution better one?

thanks....

 

because time machine 1 hard disc cannot use backup if disc going hold copy of file,

airport extreme , nas better solution both data redundancy , because support things dlna without having have computer on 'middle man' between time machine , device.

ps if haven't see if linksys router has available firmware update, might solve dropouts , save ~£100 in process.
