ATA or Advanced Technology Attachment is the interface that most workstation drives use.
EDIE
disk controller
There are several interface standards for passing data between a hard disk and a computer. The most common are IDE and SCSI.
Types of software utilities are as below: Disk Storage Disk Defragmenters Disk Checkers Disk Cleaners Disk Space Analyzers Disk Partitions Backup Disk Compression File Managers Archive System Profiles Anti-Virus Hex Editors Data Compression Cryptographic Launcher Applications Registry Cleaners Network Utilities Command Line Interface Graphical User Interface
SCSI interface would be what you're looking for.
Not knowing which model Dell/iBook/Disk is going to limit the response but if the disk from your Dell is compatible with your iBook it is possible switch it over. Note that the iBooks used an ATA interface rather than a SATA interface.
EIDE interfaces can support up to four hard disks at 137 GB per disk
It depends. If it is a laptop hard disk, and you know the interface (IDE or SATA, there is a difference), you would purchase a 2.5" IDE/SATA Hard Disk Enclosure. If it is a desktop hard disk, and you know the interface (IDE or SATA, there is a difference), you would purchase a 3.5" IDE/SATA Hard Disk enclosure. Hopefully this helps.
The IDE interface is limited to 528 megabytes hard disk capacity
reorganizing the disk Defragmentation actually reorganizes the disk.
No. ATA100 uses an 80pin ribbon cable and the Serial-ATA uses a much smaller, red 7pin cable.
