The Seagate Central is a hefty unit. This is largely because it contains a heavy, 4-platter hard drive, and because there are additional peripheral components packed into the unit for running the NAS logic.

It can best be described as 'unobtrusive'. It's matt black, and designed to lay flat on a surface. It can't be stood on its end, but as it's all too easy for external drives to get knocked over in that orientation, and you have a good chance of losing data if you do so, that's no bad thing.

The case has a fine mesh covering, which is very effective at allowing heat to escape, but it is a bit of a dust-trap, so I think a regular vacuum clean will be in order. There's no integral cooling fan - cooling is via natural convection - this does make the unit practically silent in operation however, and less likely to fail from heat stress if the fan fails (which they often do).
