The front of the DiskStation DS418j box has a label in the top left corner with an image of the drive on it along with icons describing some of its features; dual-cored CPU, compact, quiet and energy efficient, adjustable LED indicator brightness and the fact it uses DiskStation Manager. The rear of the box has a label in the bottom left with front and rear images of the unit along with a numbered list of its features and ports.

  

Both sides of the box feature a row of feature icons along the bottom. One side these display icons for File Sharing, Anywhere Access, Cloud Synchronization and Multimedia while the other side features Mobile Management, Surveillance, Backup and Data Security.

The box bundle is a simple affair with just a mains cable, a 90W power adapter (EA10951F-120), an Ethernet cable, mounting screws for 3.5 and 2.5in drives and a Quick Installation guide.
