Difference between SAN, NAS and USB Storage

by NATISHKC Jan 3, 2010 11:51AM PST

Dear Giants,

As I am new to this field. As my management asked me to use Large capacity instead of SAN or NAS or any attached RAID buid HDD. As per their recommendation, It will be cost effective and save much more as like space, power?

Now I am getting confused, and I have to reply the management with true facts that would make real difference in the above mention storage. I would like to know the all those facte that will make me +ive wrt storage.

Typos?

by r. proffitt Forum moderator Jan 4, 2010 12:38AM PST

What is a "RAID buid HDD"? There are other typos that may be just a typo or something you are looking at and a name I haven't heard of.

Your management is testing you I fear as all these are still going to get attached to the network at some point and become a NAS. Forget all the three letter acronyms and deliver the SOLUTION.
