QNAP’s packaging is pretty simple. Take a great NAS, protect it well and on the outside of the box, stick as much useful information on it as possible – seems to work great as this is a package that screams professional.

On the front of the package we get a very good look at the TS-439. It’s similar to the TS-809 and almost every other small business or commercial QNAP NAS I have reviewed. The drive cages make hard drive installation very easy. On the front of the package we have a list of key selling features with the TS-439 as well as integrated server applications. On the back of the box we have more networking features explained: Advanced RAID Management, AES 256-bit Volume-based Data Encryption, Flexible iSCSI Solution, Benefits of Dual LAN Deployment, Touch-N Go PC-less Installation, Practical System Management Tools, Comprehensive Logs System and Complete Backup Solution. The side of the box prints out the specifications. It feels as if I’m reading a product manual as I look around the box. On the top of the box we have the UPC, serial number and MAC addresses for the network cards. One very handy feature that will make bringing the TS-439 into your home or office easier is the plastic carrying handle.

Opening up the lid we find more information packaged with the box. QNAP had to go into more detail about the PC-less installation and it can be summarized in three steps. It actually is this simple. Using the control panel you can configure the NAS and view crucial system information.

If you doubted the quality of the package, here’s a glance into the box. The QNAP TS-439 is surrounded by soft packing foam and enclosed in a second plastic bag to prevent scratches to the finish.
