        • NAS: A weird spinny thing where you store your data. Both over the network.
        • RAID: Multiple weird spinny things working together to recover the lost data if one of the weird spinny things dies.
        • SSD: A weird spinny thing that doesn’t spin. Currently prohibitively expensive, so can be ignored.
        • SMB: A language that computers use to share files from the weird spinny things or printers with each other.
        • ZFS: A method that your computer uses to keep track of how and where your files are on the weird spinny things.
