What is difference between SAN and NAS? How SAN is better than NAS?

SAN ---> Called Storage Area Network
NAS ---> Called Network Attached Storage.

NAS is basically a storage connected over the LAN network. There is no dedicated network build for the NAS.

In SAN the storage is connected via a dedicated network over the fiber channel. Due to this dedicated network the data flow speed is high and more secure. Fiber Channel itself provide the high speed data travel rate.
