Packaging

There is no need for an expensive box since this is a mainstream product, so the DS214se comes in a plain but sturdy cardboard box.


The only sticker on the box holds a photograph of the product itself, its hardware specifications, and a list of contents.


Synology sent us the DS214se 2200. It comes with two pre-installed WD HDDs with a combined capacity of 4 TB.

Contents & Bundle

Spacers out of cell foam provide adequate protection to the NAS that comes in a synthetic bag as an additional protective measure.


A small box contains all the accessories. These include the quick-start guide and a welcome note, the power brick with its corresponding AC cord, and a LAN cable. Since the HDDs were already pre-installed into our sample, no fixing bolts were included in the bundle.


The DSM manual is quite comprehensive, which has Synology provide it as a .pdf file. You will, however, get a hard copy of the Quick Start Guide, which is all a novice user needs to quickly initialize the NAS.


The above photograph is of the provided power brick, its AC power cord, and the bundled Ethernet cable.


The power brick is by EDACPOWER, and its model number is EA10721A-120. It can provide up to six Amps at +12V, which is enough to meet the needs of this device.
