Unveiling newer and innovative ideas, Seagate has made a veritable habit of causing jaws to drop by to say the least storage solutions. The most recent, and clear, example of this is the external hard drive with a capacity of no less than 3TB. Still, the California-based hardware maker appears to have decided to let things settle down somewhat. As such, instead of bringing out some new, massive revelation, it made available the Black Armor NAS 400.
The BlackArmor NAS 400, essentially, is a 4-bay network-attached storage device meant for home and small office networks. Granted, there are already a slew of such solutions on the market. Nevertheless, Seagate intends to play on the desire for control and customizability that customers possess. This is why it doesn’t offer the hard drives needed to equip it with.
The product measures 207 (H) x 160 (W) x 269 (L) mm and supports, as already mentioned, up to four hard disks. Said HDDs can be configured in a number of ways, not only RAID 0, 1, 5 or 10, but also in JBOD. Empty, it has a weight of 4kg. It should probably be noted that the bays themselves are hot swappable, which means that any of the four storage units will be changeable without the others being affected, in case of failure. Furthermore, Seagate threw in hardware-based encryption, for secure remote access. This is also equipped with four USB 2.0 connectors, a pair of Gigabit Ethernet ports and supports centralization of data files, as well as full system recovery.
