ATA and EIDE

These are the most common terms for the same devices, although they are usually incorrect.

According to CompTia's Guide to Hardware, ATA refers to drive interface standards as published by ANSI.

IDE refers to the technology used internally by the hard drive.

EIDE is used by manufacturers to refer to the parallel ATA (P-ATA) that CD drives, DVD drives, Zip drives, tape drives, and IDE hard drives use to connect to the mothermoard.

While IDE is used more commonly abroad, EIDE is a more complete and accurate definition.

Why are scientific names used to describe organisms rather than common names?

Common names might not be as common as you think. Organisms can be known by several different common names, depending on when and where you are. Inversely, several different plants may be referred to with the same common name, depending on their similarities. Scientific names never change, and no two differing organisms have the same scientific name. This allows for a better understanding and grouping of organisms within the scientific community.
