It's basically a network server that you can access from any computer on the network. It is usually set up with some kind of RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) that gives an extra security in case a disk crashes. RAID comes in different shapes, each with a specific number. RAID 1 means that two disks are set up to mirror each other (Data is saved on both disks, one disk is a copy of the other). Then as the RAID number increases the explanation is more complex. The short story is that there is also a possibility to get more storage space with increased access speed and still having the security that lets one disk crash without losing data. Hope that helps.</p></blockquote><p></p>
