Packaging

The DS216play comes in a plain cardboard box that lacks fancy graphics while offering good protection, which is what matters the most.

Contents & Bundle

Inside the box, the unit is surrounded by packing foam. A small box on top of it contains all the accessories.


The bundle includes an Ethernet cable, the power brick, a quick installation guide, and the screws you will need to mount your HDDs. In our case, the HDDs were pre-installed.


The power adapter is by Channel Well Technology (CWT), and its model number is KPL-060F. It can provide up to 60 W with 12V output, which is easily enough to cover the DS216play's needs.
