The power supply was manufactured by PGB and is rated on the output as 12V, 7.5A:

The NAS is also wrapped inside a foam material bag in order to avoid any damages during transport:

See something familiar? Indeed, Synology is still building NASes on the proven chassis model which we have first seen with our DS412+ review; this one is solid and adds very little weight to the product:
