DAS is direct attached storage and NAS is network attached storage. DAS is only available thru a single server or cluster and then from this server or cluster it's exposed out afterwards if it's a shared out. The server controls access to the DAS. NAS is an appliance that is plugged straight onto the network (like a server and pc) and anyone can access the NAS like a regular file server depending on the authentication methods used (local to the NAS appliance or via Active Directory).

DAS controlled by server
NAS becomes the "server".

What you have is a NAS.
