Packaging remains very much the same as Synology’s 2011 range. The DS212 is presented in a blue box with handle. The front identifies some key features of the DS212 whilst the sides and back go into more detail – giving a wider specification of features and details. As we’ve experienced with other Synology models, packaging is finely presented and much care has been put into this aspect of its production.
DS212 packaging is neat, tidy and professional
Inside, all of the items within the bundle are sectioned off in compartments via cardboard. The bundle consists of:
• Documentation – Quick start
• AC power pack/cables
• Screws for attaching drives to HDD trays
• Installation CD – Guide, setup utility, data replicator 3
