Network-attached storage – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. I have written before about many network attached storage systems that I have worked with and recommend. Now with cloud storage, this is becoming less popular but I believe it still has a place for professionals or anyone with non-replaceable digital assets.

I am not so fond of SAN’s for the home user, they are too complex for the average person. Many NAS systems are combining things formerly found in SAN’s like automatic failover and redundant hardware. That is an encouraging sign that eventually it will be standard.
