2. Disk swapping - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_swapping

   Disk swapping refers to the practice of inserting and removing, or swapping, floppy disks in a floppy disk drive-based computer system. In the early days of personal computers, before hard drives became commonplace, most fully outfitted computer systems had two floppy drives (addressed as A: and B: on MS-DOS, [1] and also on CP/M – other systems had different conventions).

3. Hot swapping - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_swapping

   However, it is common for mid to high-end servers and mainframes to feature hot-swappable capability for hardware components, such as CPU, memory, PCIe, SATA and SAS drives. An example of hot swapping is the express ability to pull a Universal Serial Bus (USB) peripheral device, such as a thumb drive, external hard disk drive (HDD), mouse ...

4. Memory paging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_paging

   Windows can be configured to use free space on any available drives for page files. It is required, however, for the boot partition (i.e., the drive containing the Windows directory) to have a page file on it if the system is configured to write either kernel or full memory dumps after a Blue Screen of Death. Windows uses the paging file as ...

5. Hot spare - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_spare

   In high availability systems, it is common to design so that not only is there a spare that can quickly be switched in, but also that the failed component can be repaired or replaced without stopping the system - this is known as hot swapping. It may be considered that the probability of a second failure is low, and therefore the system is ...

6. SCSI connector - Wikipedia

   SCSI hard drives showing 80-pin SCA connector (top), and separate 68-pin and power connectors plus configuration jumpers (bottom) SCSI backplane with 80-pin SCA connectors. Hard Drives are mounted on proprietary hot-swappable caddies. Single Connector Attachment, or SCA, is a type of connection for the internal cabling of Parallel SCSI systems ...

7. Disk enclosure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_enclosure

   A disk enclosure is a specialized casing designed to hold and power hard disk drives or solid state drives while providing a mechanism to allow them to communicate to one or more separate computers. Drive enclosures provide power to the drives therein and convert the data sent across their native data bus into a format usable by an external ...
