- Reviewed by: Dong Ngo
- Reviewed on: 10/16/2009
The good: The Seagate BlackArmor 220 offers decent throughput speed, easy-to-use remote access, and many customization options. The server supports RAID 1 and RAID 0 configurations and is compact.
The bad: The Seagate BlackArmor 220's hard drives are difficult to replace and more than basic networking know-how is required to use its advanced features.
The bottom line: The Seagate BlackArmor 220 is a good entry-level NAS server for small business and advanced users.

Worthless piece of junk.
by ITAdmin12 on September 24, 2010

Summary: Bought this drive based on early product reviews, and will never read a CNET tech review again. This thing has crashed on me twice, requiring a restore both times. Fortunately, I backed up most of my pictures prior to the last failure. But my ripped DVD?s are history. What a waste of time.

Worse decision I have ever made. Bought it. Regret it.
by YepremA on October 29, 2009
Pros: It looks real nice.
Cons: 1- LDAP support is a joke.
2- No status monitor of any real use.
3- NAS to USB backups do not complete.
4- Files are no longer accessible after 3 months.Summary: It is slow. The web interface does not respond nearly fast enough. Any more than 3-4 connections, file transfer slows to a crawl even if the other files are just ...
Summary: It is slow. The web interface does not respond nearly fast enough. Any more than 3-4 connections, file transfer slows to a crawl even if the other files are just open. Calling Seagate support, we were met with a very "pleasant" technical support rep. He was not at all helpful nor did he want to be helpful. I could understand it if he had not seen my problem before and he could not help because some research was needed on his part. He didn't even try to help. It was a very frustrating call. Do not buy this product. Setup a computer with your choice of OS and create the needed shares with appropriate permissions. This device is a complete waste of time and money.

a waste of money
by shmulikiv on April 19, 2013
Pros: maybe price
Cons: horribly slow. Copying and deleting takes for ever.
Poor documentation & support.
replacing a mulfunction HD doesn't work as documented and demand backingup all volume, and re-creating a RAID1 volume. about 3 days of work for 3TB of storage.Summary: I regret buying this junk, I'd rather spent a little more for a descent NAS.
Don't buy it, especially not for critical data storage.Summary: I regret buying this junk, I'd rather spent a little more for a descent NAS.

Bad, slow and unsupported
by _mtk_ on January 24, 2012
Pros: It is not pink
Cons: Extremely slow. OSX Lion is still not properly supported.
Some switches are not supported.. (what? yes.. that's their answer, change the switch) -
Nice concept, terrible results -- way too slow
by Alanrc21 on August 4, 2011
Pros: The concept of Network Access Storage is great. The BlackArmor NAS does connect to my home LAN easily, and it is seen in the network as another computer.
Cons: As other posters have mentioned, the throughput is AWFUL!! I have a Gigabit router, a Gigabit switch, and I spent over two hours troubleshooting the setup and downloading the latest firmware. When I try to transfer files to the BlackArmor, it starts out
Summary:
(my review got clipped off) The transfer rate starts at 10 MB/sec, but gradually slows to about 200k/sec. I can transfer files to ...
Updated on Aug 4, 2011Summary:
(my review got clipped off) The transfer rate starts at 10 MB/sec, but gradually slows to about 200k/sec. I can transfer files to another computer on the same network at 30 MB/sec, so it's not the network. Apparently conflicts with D-Link routers, according to Seagate's support forum. Too slow to be useful.

Slow as can be
by bsesf on May 13, 2011
Pros: Price is OK. Features are attractive
Cons: Documentation is out of date. Setup is hard to figure out. Worst of all, it's stupidly slow. My old NAS was MUCH faster than this. It's still online so it's not a network problem. Black Armor is just garbage.
Summary: Avoid. It's a waste of money

Great, inexpensive, easy to use file server
by Helderberg_Complainer on March 13, 2010
Pros: Inexpensive RAID 1 data protection, easy to use, powerful, easy internet access to files, easy set up, great documentation.
Cons: No cons. It does what it is supposed to do.
Summary: Unlike the other reviewers, I found this to be an easy to set up, very well designed file server. It replaced a Linksys NSLU2 Network storage device which was difficult ...
Summary: Unlike the other reviewers, I found this to be an easy to set up, very well designed file server. It replaced a Linksys NSLU2 Network storage device which was difficult to configure, had poor documentation and was outdated. The documentation on disk is excellent--clearly written. Internet access to files is great and easy as is setting up email notification of problems. The device is very cheap, see price at NewEgg. It is simply a very good deal for a very powerful well designed device.

Does not install in Windows according to Seagate
by beisenbe on December 2, 2009
Pros: nothing ....it did not install
Cons: Does not install in Windows according to Seagate

7 supported network. When I contact ...Summary: The advertising, instruction manual, website and so said the system would be self installing. It did not install either on a Vista or Windows
7 supported network. When I contact Seagate customer support, I was told that it did self install with Vista or Windows 7 and could be installed only by turning off the Microsoft built in firewall.
This is an example of fraudulent advertising.0 out of 3 users found this user opinion helpful.
