It might be a dumb question, but how does it have it’s own OS like a NAS, or is it basically a box attached to the host and everything is done via software? I encountered some confusion between enclosures, DAS, USB array and some of the other terms I was seeing.

Not a dumb question at all. There isn’t any software associated with my DAS. It attaches via a USB and mounts like a regular drive. It does have its own power supply so it stays on even when the computer is shut down. Then when the computer restarts, the drive mounts again.
It’s basically a giant attached hard drive.
