In response to a post on data purging Tim Gorman wrote "some on SAN-based disk, some on NAS-based storage".  

Can someone please explain the differences between these technologies please.  

My understanding that a SAN is a group of disks which are available on a network and are not 'owned' by a server and have no direct cables into a server.
I also understood NAS to be network based disk (duh!)  

Thanks
