About the BlackArmor Server
The BlackArmor server is a file server, a device that is used for storing and sharing all types
of computer files on a local network. The BlackArmor server contains four Serial ATA (SATA)
disk drives and has built-in data protection to help keep your data safe from disk drive failures
and other catastrophes.
The BlackArmor server comes with software to help you back up, store, protect, and share
your files.
The BlackArmor server is typically used by small business owners and people with home

people on their local network or over the Internet.
