Network Attached Storage device: they act like a file server but go out and automatically backup important directories on your computer (and other computers) on your network. Lots of times, they are configured with RAID which is a multi-disc; reduntant backup - the theory being that the odds of a disc failure are higher than they should be but with RAID, one would need ALL discs to fail to lose important data. They come in a variety of bells and whistles but they generally store more than 1TB (terrabite = one thousand gigabites). They are now well within reach of home users $$$-wise.
