I heard about 18 month lifespan for it. Has Apple resolved this this problem or all new time capsules die after year and a half?

My first-gen 500Gb model lasted two years before the PSU died. It's a known defect and it was replaced free of charge with a sexy new dual-band model. I believe that they have improved the PSU for the current models.

19 months. So far OK. But I don't keep it doing backups all the time.

Mine is working perfectly fine at the moment. It's been almost 20 months.

I've had mine for about 20 months. No problems. My parents went through 2 Linksys between those 20 months :) It has been having issues with back ups but accessing network has been great.
