			*It combines several concepts, and can run into the issue of [[NAS vs a Small Server]] but essentially:
			**External Storage (Such as a [[Thumb Drive]] or [[External Hard Drive]] , which can formally be considered " [[Direct Attached Storage]] " especially when larger)
			**a [[RAID Array]]
			**A Server

			=Note=
			*Most Current Work Documented On-OSW on this subject (At least as of this edit, and done by [[User: Eric]] will largely be on the [[Raspberry Pi NAS]] and [[Eric's (Planned) Data Storage Ecosystem Workflow]]
			*Feel free to contribute to this page or more IT type stuff, as that isn't my specialty! - [[User: Eric]]

	*~~Low Latency~~		*Thus the "models" can probably be best described as:
	*~~Scalable from low users~~, ~~to airport/concert level~~ of ~~users~~		**[[Raspberry Pi NAS]] (Or some other similar [[SBCs]] (Preferably [[FOS]] (Software AND Hardware)
	*~~Optional Built in VPN, and Tor + any other encryption capabilities~~		**[[PC Case NAS]] (This can utilize an old/business or school surplus/used tower PC and internals, substitute what is needed only for new parts)
	*Made in partnership with OCI and the Free Network Foundation		**A ''Proper'' Rack Cabinet Type Design which could scale about as high as that format will let you, the upper ends of which are way beyond OSE's scope at least as of now
			*The Raspberry Pi NAS can be made on largely DIY/OS Hardware which is nice
