2. Hard disk drive interface - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive_interface

   Hard disk drive interface. Hard disk drives are accessed over one of a number of bus types, including parallel ATA (PATA, also called IDE or EIDE; described before the introduction of SATA as ATA), Serial ATA (SATA), SCSI, Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), and Fibre Channel. Bridge circuitry is sometimes used to connect hard disk drives to buses with ...

3. Parallel ATA - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_ATA

   Pin 40. Ground. Parallel ATA (PATA), originally AT Attachment, also known as Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE), is a standard interface designed for IBM PC -compatible computers. It was first developed by Western Digital and Compaq in 1986 for compatible hard drives and CD or DVD drives. The connection is used for storage devices such as hard ...

4. SATA - Wikipedia

   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 ...

5. Serial Attached SCSI - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_attached_SCSI

   Yes. In computing, Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is a point-to-point serial protocol that moves data to and from computer-storage devices such as hard disk drives and tape drives. SAS replaces the older Parallel SCSI (Parallel Small Computer System Interface, usually pronounced "scuzzy" [3][4]) bus technology that first appeared in the mid-1980s.

6. USB mass storage device class - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_mass_storage_device_class

   The USB mass storage device class (also known as USB MSC or UMS) is a set of computing communications protocols, specifically a USB Device Class, defined by the USB Implementers Forum that makes a USB device accessible to a host computing device and enables file transfers between the host and the USB device. To a host, the USB device acts as an ...

7. ATA over Ethernet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATA_over_Ethernet

   ATA over Ethernet. ATA over Ethernet (AoE) is a network protocol developed by the Brantley Coile Company, designed for simple, high-performance access of block storage devices over Ethernet networks. It is used to build storage area networks (SANs) with low-cost, standard technologies.
