  2. External storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_storage

    In the 1950s, introduction of magnetic tapes and hard disk drives allowed for mass external storage of information, which played the key part of the computer revolution. [6] Initially all external storage, tape and hard disk drives are today available as both internal and external storage.

  3. Hard disk drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive

    Two 2.5" external USB hard drives Seagate Hard Drive with a controller board to convert SATA to USB, FireWire, and eSATA Current external hard disk drives typically connect via USB-C; earlier models use USB-B (sometimes with using of a pair of ports for better bandwidth) or (rarely) eSATA connection. Variants using USB 2.0 interface generally ...

  4. Disk storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_storage

    The information is sent from the computer processor to the BIOS into a chip controlling the data transfer. This is then sent out to the hard drive via a multi-wire connector. Once the data is received onto the circuit board of the drive, they are translated and compressed into a format that the individual drive can use to store onto the disk ...

  5. SCSI - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCSI

    Small Computer System Interface (SCSI, / ˈ s k ʌ z i / SKUZ-ee) [2] is a set of standards for physically connecting and transferring data between computers and peripheral devices, best known for its use with storage devices such as hard disk drives.

  6. Magnetic storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_storage

    Hard drives use magnetic memory to store giga- and terabytes of data in computers. Information is written to and read from the storage medium as it moves past devices called read-and-write heads that operate very close (often tens of nanometers) over the magnetic surface. The read-and-write head is used to detect and modify the magnetisation of ...

  7. Direct-attached storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-attached_storage

    A typical DAS system is made of a data storage device (for example enclosures holding a number of hard disk drives) connected directly to a computer through a host bus adapter (HBA). Between those two points there is no network device (like hub, switch, or router), and this is the main characteristic of DAS.

  8. Hard disk drive interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive_interface

    Disk drive interfaces have evolved from simple interfaces requiring complex controllers to attach to a computer into high level interfaces that present a consistent interface to a computer system regardless of the internal technology of the hard disk drive. The following table lists some common HDD interfaces in chronological order:

  9. SATA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SATA

    A 3.5-inch Serial ATA hard disk drive A 2.5-inch Serial ATA solid-state drive. SATA was announced in 2000 [4] [5] in order to provide several advantages over the earlier PATA interface such as reduced cable size and cost (seven conductors instead of 40 or 80), native hot swapping, faster data transfer through higher signaling rates, and more efficient transfer through an (optional) I/O queuing ...
