Which of these would be most associated with a NAS?

A) Multiple PCI Express controllers

B) Ethernet interface

C) Wireless router and WAP in a single device

D) Proxies traffic

E) You can sail the seven seas


The answer: B) Ethernet interface

A NAS (Network Attached Storage) device is generally connected to the network through a high-speed Ethernet interface.
