Packaging

The box doesn't feature a fancy design. On the contrary. it is made of plain cardboard, its only colored parts the two stickers at the front and rear. As long as it provides good protection, which is the case, such packaging is fine with us. Fancy packaging might be a nice touch for high-end VGAs or mainboards, but it definitely isn't a must-have for business-centric NAS servers.


Synology sent us the model with 8 GB of RAM, which a sticker at the rear of the box points to clearly.

Contents & Bundle

Once you open the top flap of the box, you'll be greeted by a message that asks you to check out the HDD compatibility list. Two more links are provided for registering the NAS and getting technical support.


A smaller box contains all the accessories. These are a pair of Ethernet cables, an AC power cord, a set of fixing bolts, a quick start guide, and the power brick.


The power adapter is by EDAC Power Electronics, and its model number is EA11011D-120. It can deliver 8.33 Amps with 12VDC output, or around 100 W of power, which is easily enough to cover the needs of this NAS.
