Packaging

The Kingwin Elite series comes in three different colors, red, blue and black. We received the red and the blue ones for this review; all of which are packaged the same. The front of the box is taken up mostly by the clear plastic which shows the entirety of the front of the enclosure. Along the bottom of the front is a setup of the three colored enclosures.

The back of the box briefly covers the features, specifications, and package includes. An image of the back panel of the enclosure shows the different connections for the device.

Inside the box, behind the enclosure is a large white box equipped with the included parts: USB & eSATA cable, power adapter, user manual, stand, installation screws and installation CD.
