SAN vs. NAS
Storage Area Network attaches remote computer storage devices (disk arrays, tape libraries, & optical jukeboxes) to servers in such a way that the devices appear as locally attached to the OS.
Network-attached Storage uses file-based protocols such as NFS or SMB/CIFS where it is clear that the storage is remote, & computers request a portion of an abstract file rather than a disk block.
