Exterior

The diamond-plate finish makes this NAS look pretty appealing. At the front are four LED indicators, the IR receiver, and a USB 3.0 port. The power switch isn't here, but at the rear, which is a very strange design choice.


Here is a description of the LED indicators at the face of the NAS.


A small label at the server's bottom lists the manufacturing country, which is Taiwan, the power input specifications, model number and serial number, and the Ethernet port's MAC address.


There are no ventilation grilles at the front or sides, which will surely lead to increased internal temperatures, especially if you use high capacity HDDs, which can get quite hot if in use constantly.


All I/O ports, the power input and power switch are at the rear.


You need to remove the side cover, which is easily done, in order to install HDDs. The NAS only uses thumbscrews, so you won't need any tools to do so.
