Synology DS211 NAS Review

Packaging & Bundle

Synology always take care with their packaging. It's nice to see that they have maintained their eco-friendly traits by packing the DS211 into a recyclable box. Whilst there isn't immediate excitement at seeing a brown, recyclable box, for such an item Synology have done a very nice job. Around the box we have short listings of the specifications and upon opening we are met with an inviting number of bundled extras within.

The DS211 packaging[/i



Plenty of items within the bundle


The DS211 is delicately placed into a foam blanket to keep it protected from knocks, bangs and scratches. But upon taking the NAS out of this sleeve we are met with a rather nice looking NAS unit. Unlike the DS410 which we reviewed last year, the DS211 follows a different colour scheme whilst being within the same product group "Home to Business Workgroup". Of course this unit is smaller, and is going to be more suited to the home user and the DS410 the small business. The DS211 is smaller, and will accommodate up to 2 x HDDs. With first impressions to the side, lets move in for a closer look over the page.


An attractive looking NAS
