Seagate unveils 6TB BlackArmor NAS

It's been a hot minute since we've seen a NAS from Seagate, and now we have news that the company is launching not one but two new secure storage devices. Both the BlackArmor NAS 420 and NAS 440 are billed as "fully-contained, out-of-box solutions with user-serviceable, [tool-less] hot-swappable drives that are RAID-configurable 0/1/5/10 arrays," designed to scale up to 50 workstations. The devices both sport a 1.2GHz processor, 256MB memory, dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, and four USB 2.0 ports. Additionally, they feature CIFS, NFS, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, Bonjour, Microsoft Rally network, and Microsoft Windows Server Active Directory, Access Control List (ACL), volume-level encryption, an iTunes server, and a DLNA-compliant digital media server. Available now, the 420 has a total storage capacity of 2TB and an MSRP of $799.99. The 440 is available either in a 4TB version for $1,199.99 or a 6TB version for $1,699.99. An 8TB version is due out in May.

Update: To clarify, Nas doesn't endorse this product in any way. We just thought this would make a killer Photoshop.

I still think it's too expensive. Although this is sick looking. I wish NAS setups can be cheaper.

Am I the only one that sees this photo as having racist undertones?

Not cool! Not cool at all!

Please go home!
sometimes I wonder how stupid people really are.
I'm African-American and I can see that this is clearly *not* racist.
The only reason his photo was used was because he has the same name as the product type. I like what Engadget did here. good on ya.
People, get educated and learn the differences.I've spent years in the courts, in my graduate papers, and in public forums trying to make sure that we don't make ill-gotten distinctions.
After crying wolf like this then we'll be ignored when something really is racist.
