In computing, direct-attached storage (sometimes abbreviated as DAS) is a term to differentiate non-networked storage from SAN and NAS. The term did not exist before the advent of networked enterprise storage, though it is often confused with the mainframe term, DASD, which refers to any random-accessdisk storage system. Another common misconception is that DAS is synonymous with JBOD, a term that refers to storage which is not protected with RAID but actually has no connectivity implications.
