The box our review sample arrived in looked like it has had an interesting life, but the most important bit – the label that contains details of the NAS – was intact. The label has a good clear image of the TS-1677X. Above this image are stickers stating memory size and the fact it is AMD Ryzen 7 powered.
Under the image are a couple of lines of text and a row of icons displaying some of the hardware and software highlights of the unit. Under these icons are notes about the TS-1677X's dimensions, weight and what's in the box bundle.
The box bundle is basic but contains all you need to get started using the NAS in the shape of a pair of Gigabit Ethernet cables and enough screws to fix drives into place. The tool free drive bays work really well and hold the drives firmly in place but it's good to get enough screws to give you peace of mind just in case. There's also a QIG (Quick Installation Guide).
