Thanks Bullrider for the post. One reason I think SANs (with network attached storage mixed in) will have an advantage over straight network attached storage, is the trend of the network is to get your computing power off of the network. Clustering in SANs will create a very powerful "lightning fast" computing platform. I see network attached storage as more passive repositories of information dispersed about the network.

Here is a good post from Technocrat on the Ancor thread about what the advantage of Fibre Channel SANs is.

"By the way, I read the articles closely and I strongly
disagree with the conclusions. Sun was and is the leader
in NAS. Due to latency, I do not see how SAN could
lose to NAS in the next couple of years. To paraphrase
the author's argument, stagecoaches are easier to
drive than airplanes so really big stagecoaches are the
way to go for the future..."
