Now there are a number of reasons why this unit really stands out from the pack for me. First and foremost ā€“ ITā€™S HUGE! Using the same chassis used in the 2016 release, the TS-1635 NAS, this new and more powerful NAS is not on the petite side either. Featuring 12 traditional HDD bays and 4 SSD bays, this device is a real monster to behold. Likewise itā€™s not all about size, itā€™s about what you do with it! In this department, the QNAP TS-1685 does not disappoint either. For a desktop NAS, this QNAP Server has an Intel Xeon D CPU and is available in 4, 6 or an incredible EIGHT CPU cores! Along with this staggering CPU to do the work, the RAM can be upgraded all the way upto 128GB of DDR4 Memory! For those looking for a centralised and powerful NAS Server for VMware or running an enterprise mid to high scale company from, this could well be the unit for you! Details are coming all the time, but in short everything you need to know is below:
