Synology has sent to our test labs another NAS, but it is not in the format we have been used with before: this time we are talking about a super-compact 4-bay unit measuring 120 mm x 105 mm x 142 mm which sports a total weight of 0.66 kg. At its core we will find the Marvell Armada 385 00F68280 32-bit dual-core 1GHz processor which is a low-power component, along with 512MP of DDR3 meaning that we won’t be able to run lot of processes at once.

Considering the device dimensions, the packaging is also smaller, but preserves the same exterior design as we have seen with other NASes from Synology:

Some product functions are also listed on the sides:

A secondary sticker is available for us in order to check the main product interfaces, but also the hardware specifications:

After removing the top cover of the packaging, we will end up seeing the accessory box:

The bottom layer retains the main product:

Let’s take a closer look at each and every component:

First we do have the bundle box, which seems no different than the one we get to have with the bigger NASes:

Besides the documentation, we will also get a set of stickers which represent the drive bay numbering:

As the hardware bundle, we do get the power adapter, mounting screws, but also two LAN cables:
