What is used to connect devices such as hard and floppy disk drives to the motherboard?
Older computers use IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) cables, which look like pieces of tape made of a bunch of tiny cords side by side. ->

while most computers today(starting from around 5 years ago) use SATA(Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) II Cables, which allow 3Gbps (appr. 350MB) and look like a small flat colored cord. within the past year some motherboards and hard drives have enabled support for SATA III, which allows 6Gbps(appr. 700MB) transfer. industrial speed HDDs will plug directly into the PCIe slot, allowing for multiple GBps transfer rates. 95% of computer today use SATA II, however. IDE cables are about 1 and a half inches wide, sata cables about 1cm.

What is a floppy header?
A floppy header is the interface used on motherboard to connect floppy disk drives. They are far less common on modern motherboards due to their limited usefulness.
What is common name for the data cables used on floppy?
The common name for the data cables used on floppy drives is "floppy ribbon cable." These cables typically have a flat, multi-conductor design and connect the floppy drive to the computer's motherboard. They usually feature a 34-pin connector for the floppy drive interface.
What are some computer components that are supplied power directly by the power supply?
Hard drives, floppy drives, case fans, motherboard
What are things such as floppy disks and flash drives called?
Data storage devices.
A driver for your floppy drive?
Floppy drives do not typically need drivers. Any operating system on a typical PC can interface with the floppy controller integrated into the motherboard. All modern operating systems include drivers to interface with drives connected via USB.
Name 3 examples of secondary storage devices?
Some examples are hard drives, CD drives, DVD drives, flash drives, zip drives, and floppy drives
What are storag devices?
>> some are cds, hard disk, floppy disc, flash drives
''what are the example of storage device''?
Storage devices are different mediums that can hold varying amounts of information. Some examples of storage devices include CD, DVD, flash drives, floppy disks, and tape drives.
How many floppy drives can connect one floppy drive cable inside a computer case?
Normally a floppy drive interface can be used to connect two floppy disk drives. However this may vary from system to system, some systems may also have two interfaces. It may be necessary to purchase a floppy drive cable with two connection headers.
What does a storage device includes?
Examples of storage devices are: internal/external hard drives, floppy drives, CD's, DVD's, thumb drives, etc.
How many floppy drives can connect to one floppy drive cable inside a computer case?
Normally a floppy drive interface can be used to connect two floppy disk drives. However this may vary from system to system, some systems may also have two interfaces. It may be necessary to purchase a floppy drive cable with two connection headers.
Why do external floppy drives cost more than internal?
External floppy drives use additional hardware to connect to a computer, whereas an internal floppy drive uses a simple cable to connect to components already integrated into most motherboards until very recently. Another factor is that external USB floppy drives are a seldom-used item, whereas an internal floppy drive could be leftover stock from when they were a common commodity in every computer.
