Makes total sense. Great explanation!

[@tonytango48]

Great video mate!

[@tekjoey]

File vs Block based storage. Thank you for the difference, it makese sense now.

[@alieninstallation50]

Thanks for the video!

[@FrazerWood-zt3se]

Made sense. Great vid. Got another subs from me

[@daviddeane9416]

Appreciate what you attempted to explain, however diagrams would have enhanced it so much more.

[@TechWithEmilio]

Thanks for the tip David, i'll look at that for future vids.

[@eddiebytler8713]

nice...
what NAS device would you recommend for an email storage server, has about 6K users, we'll have a few dell servers up front for imap, pop, smtp etc, behind a bigIP LB, the boss doesnt trust flash and I dont trust sata ( too slow), besides, its email witha gazillion read writes on small files (maildir) all day long, my newbie offsider said synology - we all laughed, that can happen the day i retire :) until such time, we'll leave the novelty NAS's for the home, or general backups, I was looking at a few, but curious as to what you'd use in that type of use case?

[@saudkader8488]

I am confused since my NAS (Synology DS412+) is able to create a LUN

[@TechWithEmilio]

that's right, your NAS can act as a SAN when you create a LUN.

[@TechWithEmilio]

so is a SAN or NAS better?
