  2. ATAPI - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATAPI

    ATAPI (ATA Packet Interface) is a protocol used with the Parallel ATA (IDE) and Serial ATA standards so that a greater variety of devices can be connected to a computer than with the ATA command set alone. It carries SCSI commands and responses through the ATA interface. ATAPI devices include CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives, tape drives, magneto ...

  3. Parallel ATA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_ATA

    The introduction of ATAPI (ATA Packet Interface) by a group called the Small Form Factor committee (SFF) allowed ATA to be used for a variety of other devices that require functions beyond those necessary for hard disk drives. For example, any removable media device needs a "media eject" command, and a way for the host to determine whether the ...

  4. Disk array controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_array_controller

    A disk array controller is a device that manages the physical disk drives and presents them to the computer as logical units. It almost always implements hardware RAID, thus it is sometimes referred to as RAID controller. It also often provides additional disk cache. Disk array controller is often ambiguously shortened to disk controller which ...

  5. USB mass storage device class - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_mass_storage_device_class

    USB flash drives typically implement the 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 ...

  6. Automatic acoustic management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_acoustic_management

    Automatic acoustic management (AAM) is a method for reducing acoustic emanations in AT Attachment (ATA) mass storage devices for computer data storage, such as ATA hard disk drives and ATAPI optical disc drives. AAM is an optional feature set for ATA/ATAPI devices; when a device supports AAM, the acoustic management parameters are adjustable ...

    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 ...

  8. History of hard disk drives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_hard_disk_drives

    The SMD family became the predominant disk drive in the minicomputer market into the 1980s. Also in 1973, IBM introduced the IBM 3340 "Winchester" disk drive and the 3348 data module, the first significant commercial use of low mass and low load heads with lubricated platters and the last IBM disk drive with removable media. This technology and ...

  9. Solid-state drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive

    A solid-state drive (SSD) is a type of solid-state storage device that uses integrated circuits to store data persistently. It is sometimes called semiconductor storage device, solid-state device, and solid-state disk. [ 1 ][ 2 ] SSDs rely on non-volatile memory, typically NAND flash, to store data in memory cells.
