It's a Network Attached Server.

Kind of like hard drives you access through the internet.

I don't know too much about them.

Kinda of like a google drive.

Network attached storage

You can put things into over a network rather than a cable. Kind of.

Everyone that answered pretty much said exactly what it is and what it stands for. I figured I would add this, in case you were asking (or anyone else) and is interested about learning more or getting one!

Basically it's a hard drive enclosure that you connect to your router.  Then any computer on your home network can access the storage.  It's good for media servers, storing movies and music and stuff.  Some people use them for backing things up as well.
