Packaging

The NAS comes in a small white package covered in cartoonist graphics.


Although the weight is low, Shuttle equipped the box with a plastic handle to help you move it around.


On one of the two sides is a sticker with the unit's specifications.


Only a plain scheme of the NAS can be found on this side.

Contents & Bundle

You will first find a smaller box that contains all the accessories once you unlatch and flip the top flap open. Underneath the box is the NAS. It is protected by two pieces of packing foam and comes wrapped in a white bag.


The accessories include all the HDD screws you will need, two software discs, an Ethernet cable, and a quick installation manual. Inside the box is also the small power brick that feeds the NAS. One of the two discs includes the Acronis True Image HD suite, one of the best cloning software applications around.


It would be wise to take a look at the provided quick installation manual before proceeding with setting up the NAS, even if you are an expert user.


Like all dimensionally small NAS boxes, this one too uses an external PSU. This PSU is made by Asian Power Devices, a company that is not terribly popular.
