The Synology DiskStation DS218j comes in the familiar Synology compact brown box with a sticker in the top right hand side displaying an image of the unit. Under the image are a row of icons describing some of its features; dual-cored CPU, Quiet and energy-efficient, adjustable LED indicator brightness and the fact it uses Synology's DiskStation Manager.
The rear of the box has a label towards the bottom with front and rear images of the unit along with a numbered list of its features and ports. Next to these images is a panel listing the DS218j's hardware and what's in the box.
Both sides of the box feature a list of feature icons. One side displays icons for Mobile Support, Surveillance, Backup and Data Security while the other side has File Sharing, Anywhere Access, Cloud Synchronization and Multimedia uses listed.
The box bundle for the DS218j is a simple affair; a 60W power adapter (CWT KPL-060F-VI), screws for securing both halves of the enclosure and for fixing the drives into position, a good quality Ethernet cable and a quick installation guide. There is also an additional bracket to support the hard drives if you are concerned about the rear end of the drives being unsupported.
