Packaging

The NAS comes in a big, white package which is sturdy enough to handle abuse. On the front we find the model description, a front shot of the NAS itself with its LCD screen activated and a brief feature description. Also on the bottom there are many badges describing various characteristics of the TS-669 Pro.


On the rear side of the package we find more details about the product's features and some nice icons that illustrate its usability in various operations and tasks that an administrator can utilize it for.


On the remaining two sides of the box is a list of hardware and software specifications, along with a useful illustration that gives a detail description of buttons, indicator LEDs and I/O ports on the front and rear side of the NAS.

Contents & Bundle

Since many users skip directly to the installation of the device without reading the provided manual, unless they run into trouble, QNAP put some simple instructions on how to set it up quickly, on the rear side of the top flap. So once you open the flap you are greeted by the welcome message and the instructions. Clever move!
The NAS is well protected inside the sturdy box since both of its sides are fully covered by thick packing foam. On top of that it is wrapped in a heavy duty nylon bag.


The bundle includes a software CD including QNAP's applications, the user's manual, two Ethernet cables (CAT 5e), two bags of screws, the AC power cord and finally a card that informs the lucky buyer about the free firmware updates that QNAP provides. With such a high price it would be a real shame to charge extra for firmware updates.
