Computer people love TLA‘s; that’s Three Letter Acronyms. Lately you may have heard about NAS (Network Attached Storage) and SAN (Storage Area Network).
What’s the difference?
In a nutshell, NAS connects users to data; SAN connect servers to data.
The Netgear ReadyNAS unit that I have been working with and writing about is a NAS device because it is designed to connect users to their data. Unless you are an IT person with a pretty good budget you won’t be coming across SAN’s soon.
