The Synology DiskStation DS920+ arrives in a smallish brown box with a label on the top right-hand corner. The label contains an image of the unit and which of the DiskStation series it is. Under the image is a panel with four icons representing features of the NAS; Quad-core CPU with AES-NI, expandable storage and RAM, 2 x LAN with Link Aggregation support and the fact it supports for two M.2 NVMe SSD for caching duties.

The rear of the box carries a small list of some of the DS920+ hardware features and a package content list.

Both sides of the box have icons and small descriptions of some of the uses and features of the DS920+ File Sharing, Anywhere Access, Cloud Sync, Multimedia, Mobile Support and Data Security.

The box bundle contains everything you need to get started; PGB EA11011D-120 power adapter (rated at 100W), a pair of Ethernet cables, fixing screws for 2.5in drives, two drive bay keys and a quick install guide.
