This week's winner is Adul S. of Chicago, IL
Here we go again with another installment of the weekly Crave giveaway. This week's gadget: the Seagate 500GB Blackarmor PS 110, a pretty sweet external hard drive from Seagate.
In case you're wondering what CNET really thinks about it, CNET editor Justin Yu has given the recently released PS 110 high marks. He says, "A sexy slim design and backup software set make a compelling argument for the Seagate BlackArmor PS 110 external hard drive" (read the full review here).
Normally, the Seagate 500GB Blackarmor costs about $150, but you have a chance to get one gratis.

Seagate BlackArmor WS 110
(Credit: Seagate)Ever since we took a look at the Black Armor External Hard Drive last year, we've been anxious to see what else Seagate has in store for the line. Today, they announced three new additions to the BlackArmor line of externals: a NAS server, an external desktop drive, and a new portable HDD.
- The BlackArmor NAS 220 Storage Server is designed for small businesses and home networks that need one place to park their data. The package includes licenses for up to five different computers to protect up to 20 systems, and you can purchase more on Seagate's Web site as well. It'll be available late July in 2TB for $450 and 4TB for $700.
- The BlackArmor WS 110 is simply an external hard drive with both eSATA and USB 2.0 ports for versatile connectivity. Inside the drive, you'll also find the SafetyDrill software preinstalled for full-system backups and file recovery. The "piano black" enclosure can be laid flat on a desk or stand vertically to save space in a busy workspace. These drives are shipping now at $160 for 1TB and $310 for 2TB.
- Finally, the BlackArmor PS 110 portable hard drive looks a lot like the Seagate FreeAgent Go that earned an Editors' Choice for its thin design and affordability. The PS 110 remains 12.5mm thin and comes in 500GB for $160.
Look for full reviews of all products coming soon, but in the meantime check out the slideshow below for detailed shots of all three drives.

The BlackArmor 440 is one of two products in the BlackArmor NAS server family that Seagate introduced last Tuesday. The other is the BlackArmor 420. The only difference between the two is the 420 ships with only two hard drives preinstalled, leaving two bays empty, while the 440 comes fully populated with four drives. Both devices are aimed at business and home office environments.
These are the first NAS servers that are truly from Seagate. The company does sell and support a few others, such as the Central Axis, but under a different brand.
The BlackArmor NAS server has a rugged and compact look for a four-bay NAS server and comes with an easy-to-use, tool-free design. It can take up to four SATA hard drives of up to 2TB of storage.
Unlike other NAS servers I've seen, the BlackArmor has four USB ports and two Gigabit Ethernet ports. The USB port can host other external USB hard drives that can be set to contain the backup of the NAS server's internal storage. According to Seagate, this allows for offsite backup rotation.
