Ok, I've seen on Myspace bulletins and such the term "[nas]" written at the end of a sentence/ title. I've googled and UrbanDictionaried the hell out of that abbreviation and all I come up with is links to stuff about the old rapper. Now, I'm fairly certain that's not what they're talking about, haha. And I don't quite feel like asking the people who post it in fear of sounding stupid and out of the internet loop, so, what does it mean? Anybody? Anybody?
 
NAS – (Network Attached Storage) A hard disk storage device that is set up with its own network address rather than being attached directly to the computer that is serving applications or files to a network's users. By using a NAS, both applications and files can be served faster because they are not competing for the same processor resources. The NAS is attached to a local area network (typically, an Ethernet network) and assigned an IP address. File requests are mapped by the server(s) to a NAS file server. A NAS consists of hard disk storage, including multi-disk RAID systems, and software for configuring and mapping file locations to network-attached device(s). Network-attached storage can be a step toward, and be included as part of, a more sophisticated storage system known as a SAN (Storage Area Network).

I hope this helped you :)

WTF Crazyshy... Well now the NAS is part of the LAN or a WAN and accessed by the OS throught the ETP or a WIFI, using IE via an IP through TCP protocol. Unlike an IDE device, the NAS has its own CPU ability, and possibly powered by USB devices.
