Seagate has announced the availability of two BlackArmor NAS drives known as the NAS420 and NAS440 servers.
The new NAS drives ship as “fully-contained, out-of-box solutions with user-serviceable, [tool-less] hot-swappable drives that are RAID-configurable 0/1/5/10 arrays,” and are meant to address the needs of the small business owner who requires stable low maintenance technology.
Both NAS drives have the ability to provide file storage for up to 50 workstations. The difference between the two devices is the NAS420 ships with two hard drives while the NAS440 ships with four. In terms of hardware specifications, both NAS units feature onboard 1.2GHz processor, 256MB of RAM and dual ethernet cards for failover protection. A number of protocols are also supported including CIFS, NFS, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, Bonjour, Microsoft Rally network, and Microsoft Windows Server Active Directory and they can also serve as an iTunes server or a DLNA-compliant digital media server.
A 2TB NAS420 will retail for $799.99 and a 4TB NAS440 will retail for $1,699.99.
