The 4-bay AS-304T NAS from ASUSTOR has arrived inside a medium-sized cardboard box, without a lot of drawings and logos on it as we have seen at other manufacturers; the plastic handle is really useful for manipulation:

On the sides we can see a similar arrangement as with the AS-604T:

The small sticker comes with information regarding package contents and some technical product specifications:

Right after opening the top layer, we will see some hints printed on the cardboard:

Protective foam has been used to keep the NAS chassis fixed inside the box during transport:

The bundle is placed in a separate plain cardboard box, which contains the LAN cable, a DVD with necessary applications, one power lead, a tiny guide and screws for using both 2.5’’ and 3.5’’ drives (the manufacturer did not include extra screws, so we have to be careful not to damage them):

The tiny guide is written in multiple languages and provides us the directions which we need to follow in order to continue the installation procedure:

When looking at the NAS from above, we won’t spot a lot of differences compared to its bigger brother, the AS-604T; they both have a metallic chassis with a gunmetal cover and a black plastic front:

On the front we have the area with status LEDs, but also the 4 trays which are easy removable and are provided with ventilation holes:
