NAS

Networked storage box

NAS stands for network-attached storage, a dedicated file storage device connected to a network that allows multiple users and devices to access centralized data: We back up all our files to the office NAS.

In other contexts, NAS may abbreviate the Naval Air Station or National Academy of Sciences. (Capitalized Nas is the rapper.)
