Direct Attached Storage (DAS) is a type of data storage and management system that is connected directly to a single computer or server. It is typically used for personal or small business applications, and is not connected to a network. DAS is usually composed of one or more hard drives, and can be either internal or external. Internal DAS is installed inside the computer, while external DAS is connected to the computer via a USB or Firewire connection. DAS is a cost-effective solution for storing and managing data, as it does not require additional hardware or software. It is also easy to install and maintain, and can be used to store large amounts of data. However, it is limited to a single computer or server, and does not provide the same level of scalability and flexibility as other types of data storage and management systems. Some companies in the DAS market include Seagate, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Hitachi. Show Less Read more
