BA NAS 420
- Pros: 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet! I have tested this NAS on the back end of my Mac Pro 2008 Dual Ethernet and it worked flawlessly. I also added a 1TB hard drive for a 3 Drive config. and put it in RAID 5. You will need 4 drives for RAID 10.
It is my itunes server/back up unit. It is hooked through the Apple Airport Base unit via Gigabit ethernet. Make sure you set up the router to direct traffic flow to/from the NAS's address. Make it fixed address too. Turn off file sorting too! I do not use this as my Time Machine back up. But I think you can. Turn off file sorting! Did I say that again? LOW LOW LOW noise level. I only hear the clicks as the drives head moves. Even this is not loud.
I will come back and add feedback should anything change.
- Cons: The Manual is very hard to understand. Could not use Retrospect 8.1 to back up to the unit. Not sure why. Had to use an app called File Synchronization to do the data Syncs. I contacted Seagate about this and will talk to EMC next week. I do not think it is a Seagate issue. It could be a me issue as well.
- Other Thoughts: If you want to set this up as an iTunes server turn off Sorting! If you use a Mac and want to back up files via Time Machine, Turn off file sorting! The Manual and I don't get along. Some guy from Harvard must have written it. Remember than Mac OS X is Unix when OS X is being used. Outstanding device from here I sit.
DEFINITELY NOT FOR BUSINESS USE!
- Pros: Not many. The device hardware seems to be running ok. RAID has not failed yet.
- Cons: -Firmware/software is horrible.
-Active Directory support is a joke and difficult to get working.
-Slow file transfer speed (Even with dual gigabit ports)
-Backups to external USB devices are horribly slow.
-No incremental/differential backups. (full backups only)
-No backup status/completion/failed email messages.
-Cannot use cloud based backup services (ie mozy, carbonite etc.)
- Other Thoughts: Pretty much all of the business NAS features don't work, or are totally inadequate. It is next to impossible to back up the NAS if you have 50GB or more of data.
In my opinion, Seagate should have never released this product to the public. There are way to many problems with the software and firmware updates are released rarely. Tech support is aware of all the issues, but has no idea when they will be resolved.
Be smart and stay as far away from this device as possible.

Still developing OS
- Pros: Hmmm. Packed well?
- Cons: Does not work w/ Active Directory, even though it says that it does. Spent hours w/ tech support and they are aware of the limitations and "working on it". Could not backup workstation directly either, maybe related to the AD, but I don't think so, just another problem w/ another fix provided by tech support that did not work.
