Synology DS413j Review

Closer Look

Keeping with tradition, Synology have maintained exactly the same external design with DS413j compared to DS411j. As opposed to the higher spec versions, our j model has a clinical approach – being predominantly white and silver. DS413j has a metal cover that spans the sides and top of the unit, on either side the Synology insiginia is engraven.


A vibrant external design



Sleel and elegant


Moving to the front of the unit the DS413j has a glossy plastic fascia with ventilation, a button and LED indicators. Again, this is in keeping with DS411j. The available functions on this front panel include:

• Status LED
• LAN LED
• Large power button
• 4x HDD indicator LEDs

Spinning the DS413j round to the back we see the unit still has a dual 80mm exhaust fans to extract unwanted heat from the HDDs and components. Beneath these fans are 2x USB 2.0 ports and a RJ45 Gigabit LAN port. Also on the back panel is the AC connector (Clover leaf type) and a label with the mac address and serial number should you need these details for technical requirements.
