Synology DS207+ NAS Server

 

The Synology DS207+ arrived in a simple, yet elegant and appealing box. The box itself features a carry handle to make handling of the unit a little easier and safer.

 

 

The front of the DS207+’s box features a large image of the DS207+ and a list of the unit’s predominant features.

 

 

The side of the box features the DS207+’s specifications and a diagram illustrating how the DS207+ can be incorporated into your network.

 

 

As well as the networking diagram, Synology has included a small diagram illustrating the DS207+’s connections and buttons. Let’s take a look at the package contents…

 

 

Opening the top of the box, we are greeted by a well-designed and thoughtfully laid out packing scheme. The DS207+ itself is well protected and situated between two folded portions of dense cardboard. This serves to prevent extraneous movement of the DS207+ chassis during transit and provides a buffer between it and the extremities of the box in case of impact. The DS207+ is also wrapped in a polystyrene packing sheet to prevent scuffing and scratching to the outside of the chassis.

 

Included in the box with the DS207+ are two other smaller boxes: one houses the power supply cable (as seen below),  and the other includes the necessary accessories.

 

 

 

You can see from the image below why the DS207+ was wrapped in a packing sheet. It’d be a shame to see that shiny gloss finish marred by a scratch. Opening up the accessories box we can now see the additional bits and pieces that Synology has included to help us get up and running. I have included a list of the accessories for you below:
