Direct Attached Storage / DAS

Direct-attached storage (DAS) refers to a digital storage system directly attached to a server or workstation, without a storage network in between. It mainly used to differentiate non-networked storage from SAN and NAS.

These direct attached storage raid and jbod enclosures from Enhance Technologies and others allow you to use SATA, SAS, or SCSI drives and directly connect to your system using SAS, SCSI, Fibre Channel interface. The RAID enclosures usually features a built-in RAID controller for raid storage setup and are usually OS independent.

For USB, eSATA, Firewire enclosures, see External Drive Enclosure category instead.
