Our take
This Seagate BlackArmor NAS 440/420 could be a good budget option if you're comfortable sourcing your own drives and power adapter. The 4 bays provide decent capacity for a home or small office, and the 3.5-inch form factor is standard for HDDs. The 12 TB storage capacity mention is useful for planning. However, the lack of drives and a power adapter means additional upfront costs and effort. The Gigabit Ethernet is a standard but welcome feature for network speed. Given its age and the missing components, it's definitely for someone who doesn't mind a bit of DIY to get a functional NAS at a lower price point.
