DAS stands for Direct Attached Storage. It is a type of storage system that connects directly to a server or computer using a high-speed interface, such as SATA, SAS, or Fibre Channel. Unlike network-attached storage (NAS), DAS provides a direct connection to the host, allowing for faster data transfer speeds and more secure storage.
Direct Attached Storage (DAS) connects storage devices directly to a server, either internally or externally via RAID, JBOD, and SCSI bus. Cross–platform environments often utilize Native File Access Protocols (NFAPs) to permit clients with multiple operating systems to access data. DAS is different from Network Attached Storage (NAS); NAS is only used to serve files, while a OES server executes eDirectory, NCP Server, and Novell Storage Services (NSS) to control user rights and space restrictions.
DAS solutions are an ideal storage option for smaller businesses and organizations with distributed networks, as they offer user access to stored data only when the server is online. Since attached disks are exclusive to servers, they are unable to be used for overflow or backup of other servers. More storage devices can be connected to the server by utilizing available slots on the SCSI bus; however, this could impact the I/O performance of the server if the bus becomes overloaded. As such, DAS solutions are generally most suitable for accommodating a few servers, each with several hundred gigabytes of data.
Expand your PC storage capacity with Tech Guru IT Solutions DAS
DAS Solutions for every requirement
Tech Guru IT Solutions Direct-Attached Storage (DAS) allows you to smoothly expand your PC storage space.
I have consumed a large portion of my computer’s storage capacity and am uncertain of how and where I can store my future data.
I am unwilling to put my faith in external hard drives, given that any kind of malfunction could cause me to lose all the data stored on them.
I want to access files quickly, regardless of where they are stored, rather than relying on external drives which are too slow.
Direct-Attached Storage (DAS) provides an easy way to boost the storage capacity of a single PC by connecting it directly via USB or another port. This is in contrast to Network-Attached Storage (NAS), which offers a variety of advanced functionalities and network access but is usually more complex to set up. For those who only need extra storage space for a single PC, DAS is the ideal choice.
Tech Guru IT Solutions DAS offers support for various RAID levels to enhance performance and offer data protection.
The TR-004 requires no setup–simply plug and use! It even comes with an eject button for quickly removing it from the computer.
The External RAID Manager from Tech Guru IT Solutions keeps an eye on your Direct Attached Storage system, drives, and health status. Whenever there’s a problem, it sends out an alert to your PC.
The TR-004 external hardware RAID device operates on its own, without needing extra resources from the computer system. In comparison to the UX-500P expansion enclosure, the TR-004 requires fewer computer system resources.
