Synology ships their NAS products in brown cardboard boxes which they usually put a sticker on denoting the models. The same is the case with the Synology DiskStation DS920+. That said, focusing on the contents inside we have a power adapter, LAN cable, some documentation and the NAS itself. The Synology DiskStation DS920+ is a 4-bay network-attached storage powered by an Intel Celeron J4125 quad-core CPU. This makes it quite a decently capable NAS and its 4GB of starting memory is a good take-off point but can be upgraded to a maximum of 8GB of DDR4 memory.
Going back to connectivities, we have a single USB3.2 Gen1 (5Gbps) port on the back. On the other side we have the dual 1GbE LAN ports, which are capable of being bonded through software for link aggregation. This is still my biggest gripe on this model but I’ll talk about that in the conclusion. Last up, aside from power and the Kensington lock notch, we have an eSATA port which is used for Synology’s expansion units, specifically the DX517.
At the front, we have the power button which is illuminated to show power status. We also have the status indicator lights as well as a USB3.2 Gen1 (5Gbps) port and of course, the four drive bays.
The bays include a locking mechanism which allows them be secured with a simple key from Synology. It involves a plastic hinge so this is intended more as a safeguard for physical drive locking integrity than actual physical safety. The lock twists which allows the drive tray to be pulled from the bays.
