Answer is wrong. A SCSI doesn’t attach to a HBA(host bus adapter). The correct answer is DAS for sure.

Answer should be: Storage Area Network (SAN). A HBA is a Host Bus Adapter. This is used to connect the computer (server or workstation) to the SAN.

But SAN is not directly connected to the Server. DAS is .SCSI is a protocol. So I think DAS is the answer.
