Explanation

The two recognized storage topologies here are DAS (Direct Attached Storage), where storage devices are physically connected directly to a single server without a network in between, and NAS (Network Attached Storage), where a dedicated storage device is shared across a network and accessed at the file level using protocols like NFS or SMB/CIFS. WAS is not a storage topology (it typically refers to IBM WebSphere Application Server). CAS (Content Addressed Storage) is a storage method, not a standard network storage topology, and is not among the primary topologies tested in networking certifications.
