Hello,
Currently we do not have HDD with fiber optic connector on board, but this can be expected in future.
Intel has already developed a chip which uses optical interconnects instead of copper and carbon nano tubes.
When this technology is perfected, all the devices even the USB will be optical.

What is a hard drive connected to the motherboard by?
fiber optic cable
What is a common standard interface for hard drives?
backbone
What networking problems are hard to fix?
Splicing a fiber-optic cable.
Where does a storage area network go?
It can go wherever you want it to go in theory, they are big bulky blocks of hard drives. They are usually kept in server rooms connected by fiber optic cables.
What are fiber optic termination boxes?
Fiber optic terminal box generally refer to the box shape fiber optic management products used to protect and distribute the optical fiber links in FTTH Networks. Usually the fiber optic box includes the fiber optical patch panels and fiber optic terminal box. Fiber optic patch panel is bigger size, fiber optic termination box is smaller. Actually there are too many fiber optic boxes and fiber management devices, they are hard to count the types, many manufacturers will make the fiber optic boxes according to their own design and they may give the fiber optic boxes different names and model numbers.
What is IDE and SCSI?
Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) refers to a standardized interface that provides slots for connecting hard drives to the motherboard of a computer. SCSI, known as Small Computer Systems Interface, provides a universal interface for connecting such devices as disc drives, hard drives, plotters and scanners.
Why should Optic drives and hard drive should be on different cables?
becase they should
What technology standard is used to govern how drives such as CD-ROM drives Zip drives and hard drives can interface with a system?
Enhanced Integrated Drive Electronics (EIDE)
The majority of hard drives interface with the motherboard?
Modern hard drives connect to the hard drive using a SATA cable. Older ones use a larger, slower IDE cable.
What technology standard is commonly used today for hard drives to interface with motherboards in system?
The current popular standard is the SATA (serial AT Attachment) interface.
What do the ATA interface standards?
- How hard drives and other drives interface with a computer system (type of cables and connectors used by drives, motherboard or expansion cards) - Data speeds and transfer methods between the drive controller, the BIOS, the chip-sets on motherboard, and the OS
How is a SCSI hard drive similar to an EIDE hard drive?
The purpose of SCSI hard drives are to exchange information between separate computers. Whereas, EIDE hard drives addresses a computers interface between its individual hard drive and its storage disks.
