The DS710+ is supplied in a plain brown box with Synology logos and branding.
There is very little detailed info on the front of the box however some details are listed on a sticker on the rear.
Inside, the actual NAS system is packaged inside a protective polystyrene foam cover and there are two boxes, one containing the power supply and another containing the accessories.
Inside the box are the CD and the RJ45 cable with instruction manual. There are also mounting screws for the drives.
The power supply connects into the rear of the unit with a standard PC sized connector on the other side connecting to the mains.
The NAS system itself is attactively designed with a piano laquer finish, this gives it a high gloss appearance.
The front has an array of LED readouts to give detailed information on the current operation, or in case there are any issues. Status at the top, next a Lan light, HDD1, HDD2, eSATA.
Below these main lights are a USB copy button, a USB port, and the power button.
The rear has strong connectivity with LED indicators for each drive, as well as a VGA port, USB port, LAN port, Power port, Reset button and eSATA port for direct connection to an external SATA HDD.
The VGA port can be used to connect the NAS system directly to an LCD monitor.
Damn thats mega performance for the money.
Thats a really nice little unit. do they sell anything b igger? their site is down for me.
I bought their 2 series unit months ago, its great. I wanted this one but it was too much money for me at the time.
with 2 2TB drives would last a long time 🙂
Weird the front is sealed, isnt helping the CPU cool at all that.
Never heard of these guys but their site is nice. good looking units.
The ATOM really does kick ass in this kind of environment.
Any USA prices ? cant seem to find it on newegg.
Good performance, those QNAP units cost a fortune too.
Yeah, its always what gives me problems with those NAS systems, the massive money they cost. I think the high end QNAP is ATOM powered too. seems even more of a bargain
Still seems like quite a bit of cash to me, especially when you have to add drives to the cost. ends up well over 500 with two decent sized drives.
thats a lovely little unit, I like the sound proofed front actually, atom at 70c is fine 🙂
Yeah atom can hit 80 long term easy enough, would be nicer to see 60 though long term I think. the lower the better. hey maybe Zardon can fit a noctua NH D14 to it ? 🙂
