Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ - Seagate BlackArmor 440 Reviewed by Richard Vanderhurst

Beginning at 0 for 2TB, the Seagate BlackArmor 440 / 420 is most likely the most reasonable high-capacity, top of the range NAS server. A drawback to the BlackArmor is that its write speed could be better compared to its read speed. Note : The device is sold in 2TB, 4TB, and 6TB capacities. Now, you will need to provision your own drives to reach 8TBs, as Seagate hasn't released that model yet. Also, the NAS's high first price point, while not a difficulty for corporations, may stress most shopper's pocketbooks. Richard Vanderhurst recommends that if you're searching for a straightforward NAS for the home, we promote the WD My Book World or the Iomega Media Home Network drive. For most small businesses the BlackArmor has what you need. The BlackArmor NAS server has a bold-looking design with four bays on its front and a top that sticks out further, showing off its small LCD. Each bay can hold one SATA drive of any capacity, suggesting now the device can hold up to 8TB of storage.

You may hot-swap any drive when the device is in operation in the event of hard-drive failure.

Richard Vanderhurst discusses that Seagate advocates you only use its hard drives and only provides tech support when you use its hard drives, but both BlackArmor versions work with SATA hard drives from any seller. Considering its giant size, the BlackArmor's fan is shockingly quiet. Also, it is the first NAS server we have seen that lets you to replace its cooling fan. This is a beneficial feature, as over time the fans have a tendency to collect dust, become noisier, or simply stop working. On the back of the BlackArmor are 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports and three USB ports, with another USB port on the front for fast and convenient thumbdrive connectivity.

The BlackArmor's backup solution is speculated on Acronis' fabulous True Image and contains a license for ten PCs.

Thanks to the included discovery software application, setting up the BlackArmor was a simple task.

You might also use the discovery application to launch the BlackArmor's Web interface, but this is where the simplicity ends. Sadly , you'll need to work out a lot by yourself as we found the NAS server's manual rather limited on details.

Overall, the BlackArmor 440 / 420 posted wonderful information transference rates ; however, we wish the opening between its write and read scores wasn't as large. It's absolutely normal for a storage device to supply a higher read speed than write speed.
