The product is shipped within a sturdy cardboard box. There is an image of the product on the front as well as key specifications for a user browsing in a retail store.
The box contains a lot of information and offers good protection during shipping.
The supplied accessories are fairly standard, including an ethernet cable (albeit with solid metal connectors) , the power supply, the User Manual (which only consists of a few pages in each language), and some rubberised feet and 2 sets of screws.
The product itself is made from thick brushed aluminum formed in 3 sections, and weighs 500g. The appearance is almost ‘Mac' like. On the back there is the on/off button, a power connector, 2x USB 2.0 ports, an eSata port, a Gigabit ethernet port. As well as a reset switch and a hole for a Kensington Lock.
There are only 2 screws holding the enclosure together and after removing them we can see the PCB and where the 2.5″ Hard Drive will be mounted.
Attaching a 2.5 inch drive is straightforward and it is held in place from one side only.
looks quite nice, but its a bit expensive without a drive.
I love silverstone products, but im not sure I need a NAS system, I only use 2 computers, and I store all files on a self powered USB drive so its easy to move upstairs and downstairs between computers.
