Doug, I suggest looking in the usage precautions section of the Time Capsule and iMac manuals. In November 2011, I purchased a La Cie CD burner. I emailed La Cie to find out if it was OK to put objects on top of the drive, such as a usb hub or usb thumb (jack) drives. The rep said no because the objects could cause the drive to overheat due to the magnetic field created (or words to that effect). He said this was explained in the manual.
