Explanation

NFS (Network File System) is a file-level storage sharing protocol. Network-Attached Storage (NAS) is specifically designed to provide shared file system access over a network using file-level protocols such as NFS (for Linux/Unix clients) and SMB/CIFS (for Windows clients). Direct-Attached Storage (DAS) is physically connected to a single host and is not shared over a network. Storage Area Networks (SANs) provide block-level access, not file-level. Optical drive storage is a media type, not a network storage appliance. Only NAS natively provides NFS-based file sharing.
