Packaging and Bundle

The F8 SSD Plus ships in comparatively nice retail packaging and the NAS is packaged in protective foam, which might actually be a bit excessive, considering how light the device is. The bundled accessories are a tad different from what you normally get with a NAS, although you do get a power adapter, an Ethernet cable and a couple of screws, as well as a small screwdriver. However, what stands out is the small tray filled with eight heatsinks, the accompanying 16 rubber bands that are used to attach the heatsinks to your SSDs, and eight rather thick thermal pads. We'll take a closer look at how well setup this works or doesn't work later in the review.
