There are a number of different kinds of data storage, and they all serve different purposes. The three main different kinds of data storage are DAS, NAS, and SAN. The first type of data storage is DAS, which stands for Directly Attached Storage. This is when the server is directly connected to the storage with a USB cable. DAS is used for connecting one server to a storage container. The second kind of data storage is NAS or Network Attached Storage which is when computers can share through the network. NAS can be used with multiple different servers. The third kind is Storage Area Network or SAN. By using SAN a handful of different servers can all get storage, it is similar in setup to NAS. There are many different examples that fall under each of one of these categories. Each of these create different opportunities for the users with their specific purposes. (Hasen, 2021).
