The Synology DS723+ package arrived in one box. The box was packaged and sealed properly without any damage to report. The DS723+ includes a power adapter, power card, two ethernet cables, a bag of screws, two keys (used to lock the drives in the respective bays), and a quick installation guide manual.
The unit (pictured below) includes 2-bays, 2 LAN ports (1GB), 2 NVMe drive slots, 1 USB 3.2 Gen 1 port, 1 eSATA port, and a three-year warranty (extendable to 5 years with Extended Warranty Plus).
Two 4TB hard drives and an additional 16GB RAM (total of 8GB) will be installed in this unit, and I’m planning to install a E10G22-T1-Mini module as well.
This will be the first of my blog post series on the Synology DS723+, so please be on the lookout for future posts. Moving forward, this will serve as an ideal use case for a home lab environment. I’m very eager to test various use cases but if you have any in mind, I’m open to any feedback!
