D-Link's website says the DIR-685 supports up to 1TB not 2

Hmmm...

looks like D-Link actually listened to a bunch of us when it comes to some of the new features.

Now let's see if they can do any better with their piss poor support than they did with their last flagship product the DGL-4500 which was more of a disaster trying to get them to fix the darned thing.

That DIR-685 looks pretty cool.
To bad it costs $300

Also, it only supports a maximum of a 1Tb 2.5" hard drive

I'm liking this. 300 bucks isnt bad considering its a nas station and router.

 

[torque79]

id rather it was larger so it could house a 3.5" drive, with capacity up to 4tb maybe so it has future expandability. I'm so sick of products still being sold that have a 1TB hard drive capacity limit.. why are they still on shelves??

 

[sliem]

Too expensive for casual users. My router is $60 and it's perfectly fine.

 

[anamaniac]

Well, I paid $150 for my current Extreme N dual band gigabit router...
It has no touch screen, but it does have a USB port to act as a NAS.

No real change with this one.

Drives are showing up in a variety of new devices. The drive manufacturers must be pleased.

Why does it need a touch screen??? Surely that adds unneccessary expense to the item, and I'd prefer to change any settings via a web interface like I currently do rather than go up to it to change settings.
