It's time capsule a RAID device?

I mean, the information saved in the TC it's protected with a RAID configuration.

What happen with the information if the TC break down.

With a Dual Band Time Capsule, can devices communicate from different bands through the time capsule?

I have an iPhone 3Gs and an iPhone 4 that I wish to 'communicate' with my iMac which is set up to run on a 5Ghz 'N' network.

Will the Dual Band Time Capsule allow this to happen?

I am thinking about this all in relation to the iCloud and iOS 5 where the iPhones will be able to do wireless backups to my iMac, but don't work on my Airport Express 5Ghz 'N' network. Will a Dual Band TC or Airport Extreme solve this problem?

Cheers.

can you have multiple time capsules on the same network?

Looking to replace my first gen Time Capsule with a newer model with more HDD and dual-band capacity. Can I keep my old TC on the network when I upgrade to the new one and put the old one in bridge mode to expand the wireless network? And can I backup to BOTh devices, either redundantly or assigning different devices to different TC’s?

In terms of dual-band, am I better off using the old TC to create a separate network for b/g devices and use the new one exclusively for n devices, or will the new one handle dual-band adequately so the b/g signals won’t slow down n devices?

Is Time Capsule DNLA compliant?

I have a Samsung 8 Series TV that is DNLA compliant and have just brought a MacBook Pro 2.8GHz. I wanted to find out if the Time capsule and MacBook Pro allow streaming of videos to a DNLA device?

Using Time Capsule with an existing network

I'm wondering if the Time Capsule will be right for my home and current setup;

At the moment, my main router (with wifi) is on the ground floor. The middle floor has an ethernet switch (connected to the main router) and the top floor has an ethernet switch (connected to the switch on the middle floor).

If I connected the Time Capsule to the switch on the top floor, could I use it as a wifi hotspot? (I barely get a signal on the top floor, so it'd be great if I could)

Would I be able to access the Time Capsule backup from any floor? Even if I was connected to the main routers' wifi and not the Time Capsule wifi?

Could I connect devices by ethernet to the Time Capsule? If I do, could that device connect to all other devices on the network or just devices on the Time Capsule?

What security do I have available to stop other people on the network from accessing my backup on the Time Capsule and the settings for the Time Capsule?

Is the Time Capsule a solid state storage device or traditional mechanical drive

Can I use Time Capsule as a storage device as well as backup for my iMac using Time Machine, or can I only use it to back up files with Time Machine?

I'm currently using a WD 500GB Drive, which has a habit of turning itself into a standby state despite preference settings keeping it always on, and I have to restart the drive every time this happens, which is an inconvenience when storing files and no storage device is found when saving. I want to replace the WD with a 2TB Time Capsule and use the Time Capsule as a storage device, as well as a back up device via Time Machine for my iMac.

Time Capsule for Macbook Air as External Harddrive

So i was wondering if i got an Time capsule for my Macbook air if it would work as an external hard drive? Would it work wirelessly as well? I also own an iMac, ipad, would these devices be able to access files on the Time Capsule?
Thank you very much for any help.
