"HDD Size is limited? Where on the box does it say that?"
Pros: At this moment in time? None.
Cons: Limited hard drive size along with limited information!
Summary: If you want to waste time and money run out and buy the NSLU2 right now! I bought this unit along with two Maxtor OneTouch II 300Gb drives. After going through the process of setting everything up, with a little "help" from tech support (set up includes formatting the drives using a format not compatible with Windows) I start transferring files. Things go ok then rapidly downhill with some very strange problems. Not seeing the drives on the network then suddenly the drives are there, the same files "appearing" on both drives even though Drive two had not been written to, suddenly only one drive is there, oh there it is again, and so on.
This morning I talk to Tech support, that's when I find out that the drive size is limited to 250Gb MAX. Yet when I point out that on the box it says "...connect up to two stand-alone USB disk drives of any size...". From that point on I got excuse after excuse and finaly someone who I could hardly understand telling me to return the unit to the store. Great, I get to waste more time arguing with the store! Linksys a once trusted resource is now a source of deception and no longer can be trusted.

The size limit is not true (at least with the most recent firmware). I'm happily using NSLU2 with a Lacie Brick 300 GB USB2 hard disk.
