The Basics:

The Synology DS213j dimensions match those of the previously reviewed DS212. The approximate dimensions of the DS213j are - 6.5 inches tall, 4 inches wide, and 9 inches in deep. Even when compared to a micro ATX PC case - these dimensions are quite respectable considering the majority of the space is used up by two 3.5" hard disks (or 2.5" hard disks if you purchase adapters separately).

Lets work our way around the DS213j and highlight the important features, starting with the front face. The front face is dominated by the LED activity indicators and the system on/off button. In order of appearance we have the following LEDs: Status, LAN activity, Disk 1, and Disk 2 status. The power button also illuminates when the system is powered up and it glows a bright blue. I feel a good improvement to the Synology lineup would be a mechanical or software switch that could disable all LEDs.

As we move around to the back of the device you will find the fan responsible for cooling the drives, 2x USB 2.0 ports, 1x gigabit LAN, and a female DC connector that accepts the power cord. Towards the bottom right of the housing you will also find a Kensington lock slot, good for preventing those honest thieves from making off with your data.
