What are the most common HDD standards?
As far as interfaces goes you have two main types SATA and IDE. SATA being the newer of the technologies and using a small plug type cable to connect to your motherboard, where as IDE uses a wide ribbon type cable to connect to a large slot on the motherboard. There are two types of SATA as well. SATA-I and SATA-II. SATA-I runs at speeds up to 150mb/s and SATA-II runs ar speeds up to 300mb/s. Most motherboards these days take SATA-II devices (Hard drives, optical drives). Hope this answers your question.
Fullform of sata?
The full form of SATA is Serial Advanced Technology Attachment. It took over from Parallel ATA in 2003 and offers transfer speeds of up to 6.0 Gb/sec.
What does SATA stand for in computer terms?
Serial Advanced Technology Attachment Not sure in which context you mean but the normal meaning of SATA is Serial ATA which is the type of transfer architeture insife the PC from the motherboard to the Hard drive. It is a newer faster information transfer type which will make PC run faster and transfer information internally faster in the future.
Ide hard drive can be slave with sata hard drive?
No Master Slave designation needed. SATA Drives are plug-add-play. Improve: SATA (Serial) Attached Drives improve data tansfer speeds up to 10-100 GBytes/per. eSATA are (Externally) Serial-Attached Drives and SATA-II(Sata-2) Drives transfer data @ 300GBytes/per. The next barrier of TerraByte data transfer has been developed and is already in production with a (SATA-3) designation attached
Are SATA and ATA the same?
SATA is ATA, but there are many ATA. SATA is an acronym for Serial AT Attachment, AT being the successor to the PC standard of desktop computers. There are many ATA standards, lots, but short answer is they are outdated Paralel, so we coined a new term to cover all the old ATA devices: PATA.
What is a SATA Expansion Card?
Serial ATA is a type of hard drive connector and standard. Instead of a 40-pin parallel ATA plug, is uses around 6 wires to send the data in a serial fashion. If you don't have SATA sockets or not enough for your needs, then you have to install an expansion card with SATA connectors. They are available for different types of expansion sockets, support different SATA standards (generation 3 is the current standard), and have different numbers of SATA sockets.
What is the difference between SATA hard drives and IDE hard drives?
SATA is............. This is one of the latest and popular developments. The high speed serialized AT attachment. Currently SATA offers ransfer speeds of upto 150Mbps. However, this technology can offer upto 600Mbps with further development. The next stage is increasing the speed to 300Mbps.This is a popular term, it really should be called ATA - Advanced Technology Attachment. One of the earliest types. Also known as ATA-1. Data transfer rate of about 8Mbps (8 million bits per second). Basic differences are,1) Speed (150mbps (SATA) vs 100/133mbps (PATA))2) Air flow (large IDE cable vs thin SATA)3) Hot swappable (SATA)4) Newer technology with future speed increases promised.
Why does a sata motherboard contain sata connections?
It wouldn't be a SATA motherboard if you couldn't connect SATA drives to it.
Which Ethernet cable standards supports transmission speeds greater than 200 Mbps?
cat5
How much faster is Sata II than Sata?
The Sata II is has a transfer speed that is two times as fast as the original Sata. The Sata has a communication speed of 1.5 Gbit/s while the Sata II is 3.0 Gbit/s.
What is a SATA hard drive?
A SATA hard drive is a hard drive that connects to the computer through the SATA bus. SATA is an interface released in 2004 to replace older IDE / PATA interfaces. Also called a Serial ATA, the SATA hard drive helps in the process of transferring data from an external hard drive to the bus in the computer. The bus is a component that transfers information from one part of the computer system to another.
How to connect hard disk with sata 3 to sata 1 port?
SATA 3 is backwards compatible, it means you connect it the same way as SATA 1.
