Packaging and accessories
The Synology DS223 is delivered in a standard cardboard made box. The design of this packaging is the same as the one used on other Synology NAS products.
The front of the box has a simple design, with only the Synology and DiskStation names printed on the cardboard. The only graphics and information present on this box is on the white label applied on the top.
The back of the packaging has more information not only regarding the NAS but the contents of the bundle.
The protection with this packaging is average at best as it only uses cardboard to dampen vibrations and impacts. The NAS is inside a soft bag and sits at the center of the box with empty cardboard panels on all sides.
The accessories are inside a separate box inside the main packaging.
