By rbhatta This is going to be a long review as the product's expectations need to be set right for buyers of this product. To give you a background from where I come from let me start with the fact that I work for a Global IT company that has been developing and selling Enterprise class RAID storage solutions for years, since the good old SCSI RAID days and since we have been developing Fibre-channel and SAS storage devices and ventured into cloud computing and we very well understand the limitations and expectations from customers. The most common complaint we have is my NAS is performing slow, The WEB UI sucks, or it takes forever to rebuild my RAID array. But these common complaints are nothing really to do with the product hardware but how customer accesses and uses his NAS storage and what expectations were set during the sale of the solution to customer. Coming to BlackArmor NAS 440 NAS storage device from Seagate, The product documentation is clear! This was designed for a "shared storage" for small businesses, if someone hopes that they can use it in a home environment they will be disappointed especially if multiple devices trying to stream high bitrates of Blu-Ray or MKV HD video, or Video files out of Hi-Def camcorder etc; out of this box; but for people who edits small word doc or excel files in a shared CIFS environment and backup purposes in a small office environment it is perfect little device that is protected by RAID 1 or 5 redundancy and encryption for peace of mind. There is a lot of negativity shared by users of this product here on Amazon and elsewhere, But we have to be realistic about the expectations out of 7200 rpm SATA interfaced hard drives in RAID 5 configuration, There is only so much those SATA interfaced drives can do with a severely underpowered RAID/Server controller with multiple possible services that it is running. Enterprise class RAID storage uses SAS Drives and or Dual channel Fibre Channel drives for redundancy and the spindle RPM of those drives can be as high as 15000 for faster data access and generally supplemented by a very powerful controller (CPU) backed up by a huge data cache and battery backup protected for Power failures etc; But all that comes with a huge cost for small businesses that they may never use the full potential of an enterprise class RAID storage, But for a device that costs little over $600 and has almost all popular access methods of file sharing IMHO is quite adequately priced and performs just okay. Agreed that the web UI is slow and there is very little one can tinker, But again, remember for whom this was designed for... It was not for people trying to boot off this device and play games, or stream HD video for TV or similar media hungry devices, it was designed for mom and pop shop owners who like to have a backup data storage device in their backroom just in case if their laptops or desktop PC's were to crash. The included client Backup software component is a pretty good value as it includes 10 licenses and does its job relatively well. The other plethora of services that little device has to offer includes FTP, CIFS, NFS, Printer spooler, WIKI server, Media Streaming, Global access, NTP, ISCSI and Drive encryption is impressive, but again if one decides to use all those services simultaneously you are going to have a performance issue when trying to access data stored on the four HDDs in RAID configuration. DO's and Don'ts DO's RAID Level (Suggest to keep at RAID 5 with 4 HDDs) 1. Make sure that you keep the RAID 5 array that is shipped from factory; this will give you peace of mind if any one of the HDD's was to fail. Alternatively, RAID 0 offers the full advertised 4TB capacity and slightly better performance, but even if one HDD fails, you will lose all your data. It is not worth that risk for that slight performance gain. Network
