Packaging
The SL100 Pro comes in a nice retail package. On the front of the box we have a picture of the drive and it lets us know the speeds, capacity, and some of the main features of the drive.
Flipping over to the back we have directions on how to get started with the drive and some of the main features are detailed.
Getting everything out of the drive you have the SL100 Pro drive, a USB-C cable, and a USB-C to USB-A cable. Having the Type-C to Type-A cable is nice for backwards comparability.
