In
1996 a 1 Gig external hard drive was $ 1000.00. We
now sell a 40 - 60 Gig USB drive for $ 200. Just compare this
with a external 250 MB USB ZIP drive for $ 150.

Direct Attached Storage
(DAS)
Direct attached storage is the term used to describe a storage
device that is directly attached to a host system. The
simplest example of DAS is the internal hard drive of a server
computer, though storage devices housed in an external box
come under this banner as well. DAS is still, by far, the most
common method of storing data for computer systems. Over the
years, though, new technologies have emerged which work, if
you'll excuse the pun, out of the box.
Network
Attached Storage (NAS)
Network Attached Storage, or NAS, is a data storage that uses special devices connected directly to the network
media. These devices are assigned an IP address and can then
be accessed by clients via a server that acts as a gateway to
the data, or in some cases allows the device to be accessed
directly by the clients without an intermediary.
Some of the big advantages
are expandability; need more storage space, add
another NAS device and expand the available storage. NAS also
bring an extra level of fault tolerance to the network. If a server
down means that the data that
that server holds is no longer available. With NAS, the data
is available on the network and accessible by clients.
