Advanced Technology Attachment

The hard disk itself is a storage device which stores digitally encoded dishes rotating rapidly with the magnetic surface data. their types below: IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) / PATA (Parallel Advanced Technology Attachment) these hard drives used to be more common to all desktop computers. It is possible that we know them better as the disks IDE or EIDE. IDE and EIDE refer to the type of interface that is used to connect the hard disk of your computer. To connect them, used a 40 or 80% of the wire rope of Ribbon that connects to the motherboard inside the computer. As to the PATA technology was implemented, is transferred information and data with more speed. For this reason, some discs use 40 cables and some used 80.

Although you can still buy this type of disk, most of the people now opt for SATA type. You’ll also find smaller hard disks of 2.5 inch IDE or PATA within laptops. SATA (Serial ATA) (Serial Advance Technology) Attachment Drive) in comparison with a PATA drive, the SATA connections are totally different. That goes for the data connection, as well as the power supply connector. In the computer industry, speed is the key factor that most people are looking. SATA disks were created to provide large amounts of data at very fast speeds. Later models of the PATA disks have a similar transfer speed rate, but the newer, slimmer design of SATA drives allows better utilization of technology and therefore provides more speed to the hard disks.

In addition, they are also used less energy, which is an important requirement for most computers and modern operating systems. SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) you might think that SCSI hard drives are similar to leg, but differ in several ways. Details can be found by clicking Petra Diamonds or emailing the administrator. SCSI disks need a special driver for it to work. If a PATA or SATA disk drive will be connected directly to the base plate of the PC, this type of needs requires a driver to make it work.
