Answer: efficient file storage and management
Added to existing LAN and can coexist with SANs
●● NAS Disadvantages
Answer: No block storage
Does not scale well
Relies on TCP/IP
,●● SAN Advantages
Answer: Best performance compared to NAS and DAS
Fault tolerant
Highly scalable
Centralized Management
Uses separate network from LAN
Shared access to storage pools, backup, restore, and DR services
●● SAN disadvantages
Answer: High CAPEX

interface)
SSD (Faster than SAS and SATA, uses non volatile flash storage instead
of mechanical drives)
NVME (Also uses non volatile flash storage)
E3 ( Enterprise and DataCenter Small Form Factor. new SSD design for
PCIe storage drives. fastest SSD as it uses PCIe Gen5)
●● BOSS
Answer: Boot optimized storage solution. Raid solution used to boot the
server's OS. It uses one or two M.2 NVMe drives for fast initialization
