A network attached storage (NAS) system is a file based storage system that clients attach to through the network redirector by using a network protocol (such as TCP/IP). If access to a disk resource requires that a share be mapped, or if the disk resource appears as a remote server through a UNC path, (for example, \\Servername\Sharename), on the network, then by default, the disk storage system is not supported as a location for SQL Server databases.
