Drives are connected to the motherboard with ribbon cables or thinner cables?
SATA cables.
How are drives connected to the motherboard?
Drives are linked by cables called SATA cables, these send data through the motherboard
A system may have up to how many ribbon cables?
Many newer systems don't have any ribbon cables at all. Ribbon cables were used for IDE drives, SCSI drives, and floppy drives. The number of cables will depend on the number of drives in the system (16 drives per SCSI cable, 2 per IDE cable, and 2 per floppy cable).
What are scsi cables used for?
Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) cables are used to connect computers to certain devices such as hard drives, tape drives, printers, CD drives, and scanners.
What piece of hardware IDE cables connect?

Why are CD-ROM and DVD drives called optical drives?
It is called an optical drive because the mechanism for reading and writing information is optical (light) based - it uses lasers.
IDE data cable?
This is a data ribbon cable is used for computer drives, like hard disk drives, Optical disk drives, and floppy disk drives. They are also referred to as PATA cables. They connect to parallel ports consisting of 20 pins in one row, and 19 in the second, for a total of 39 pins. IDE cables are now considered old, having been largely replaced by SATA cables, which connect to newer drives which run at more RPM. The SATA system communicates more quickly that the PATA system using IDE cables.
Why do IDE harddrives require jumper cables?
They don't. Jumper cables are used to charge a car battery. Hard drives have no use for such a device.
How many pins does a notebook IDE connector have?
Notebook's use 2.5 hard drives and they have 44 pin connections 3.5 hard drives used 40 pin connections BUT they make adapters to use either or
Why should Optic drives and hard drive should be on different cables?
becase they should
What raid level should be used if the criteria include the data be written and read simultaneously and that all data duplicated using minimum of three drives?
Raid level 5 supports reading and writing, but writing performance is slower than raid levels 0 and 1.Raid level 5 requires a minimum of 3 drives.
Which component probably has a dual-voltage selector switch and has cables that connect to the motherboard and drives?
