Product Packaging:
The time and care taken to package the Snap Server was very apparent when removing this product from the box. Everything was individually packaged in a collection of boxes with a thick foam shell surrounding the device itself. (Be sure to note the agreement printed on the seal, which warns users to read the license agreement before proceeding with installation). There is no doubt the Snap Server will get to you unharmed; your investment will be well protected.
