If you’re a computer newbie, we should cover the basics first: What is a network drive? What are SAN and NAS? And what can they do for you?Ī network drive is any type of storage connected to an internet router. Home users can utilize the same technologies, but would have less use or budget for SANs and are more likely to use NAS or cloud storage. For businesses, network storage comes in the form of server storage, SANs (Storage Area Network), NAS (Network Attached Storage), and cloud services (iCloud, Google Drive, etc.). Whether you’re a business or home user, network storage is an excellent resource.
