Power Consumption

The chart shows the actual power consumption measured at the PSU connection and while loaded with a maximum amount of drives. The maximum power draw will occur during boot times.

Packaging

Synology’s NAS come in simple brown boxes, and I like that. There is no need for bold and colourful prints on such a box. At least not in my opinion. There are two labels on the box, one on the front and one on the rear.

The front label has a picture of the NAS unit itself, the model number, and the vital feature highlights.

The rear label explains the various connections and buttons, and it also has the hardware specification list.
