Does the latest Airport Extreme 802.11ac support multiple partitions for an Airport Disk? If so, can one of them be use for Time Machine backups? I know it supports TM backups, but wasn't sure if it limits the disk to just one partition, or if the disk is allowed to have other partitions for other uses. Thanks

Since nobody else has responded... A quick google seems to say that it does work, but you have to pull the HDD in order to do the partitioning.
The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

Thanks. I would imagine this will become a more popular question for people once they start using the new 12'' MacBook with only one port and they realize the only way to back up anymore is wirelessly (either through Time Capsule or AirPort Disk).
