Storage/NAS by stefan @ 2013-01-14
The DS413j NAS from Synology is mostly aimed for homes and small offices in need of high storage space, without the need of breaking the bank to get it. The product comes with an older chassis version and runs the latest version of the highly praised DSM, which means that it comes with a lot of features and its interface is really intuitive, easy to use.
The NAS is cooled by two silent 80mm fans:
On the bottom we will find the DC-IN port, one LAN port, two USB 2.0 ports and also a Reset button hole. Here we will also find the sticker with the product serial number and MAC:
Near the top right side screw, we’ll find a Kensington lock port:
Unlike the other models, the NAS opens from the back, by removing the four thumbscrews. Both fans are equipped with fan-guards:
Inside the bays we will find 4 grey plastic bays:
On the bottom we have the main unit motherboard; the central processor is covered by a small heatsink:
The motherboard is also provided with a connector in which the daughterboard with the SATA Data/Power connectors gets plugged in:
Here is how the unit does look with the top cover removed:
