What do the ATA interface standards?
- How hard drives and other drives interface with a computer system (type of cables and connectors used by drives, motherboard or expansion cards) - Data speeds and transfer methods between the drive controller, the BIOS, the chip-sets on motherboard, and the OS

What is IDE and SCSI?
Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) refers to a standardized interface that provides slots for connecting hard drives to the motherboard of a computer. SCSI, known as Small Computer Systems Interface, provides a universal interface for connecting such devices as disc drives, hard drives, plotters and scanners.
What might the purpose be for a sata?
SATA (Serial ATA) is a type of interface. It's a format of cable and socket that connects hard drives and optical drives to the motherboard. The main purpose of SATA was to provide a faster interface to hard drives to replace the aging ATA interface. It also uses much thinner cables which help with cable routing and airflow. Pretty much every new consumer hard drive uses some form of SATA to connect to the motherboard.
What is on the house?
Everything is connected to the motherboard. Everything other than hard drives and disc drives would be directly on the motherboard.
What technology standard is commonly used today for hard drives to interface with the motherboard in a system?
The most commonly used technology standard for hard drives to interface with the motherboard today is SATA (Serial ATA). SATA provides a high-speed connection for data transfer between the drive and the motherboard, supporting various drive types such as HDDs and SSDs. Another emerging standard is NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express), which is used primarily for SSDs connected via the PCIe interface, offering even faster data transfer rates than SATA.
What is a common standard interface for hard drives?
backbone
What does a SATA cable do?
SATA, or serial advanced technology attachment, connects the motherboard to hard drives and optical drives. This cable is inserted into the SATA slot on the motherboard.
Can I use a dell CD & DVD Drive in a HP pc?
Probably. First off, they would need to be the same sort of interface. Secondly, computer companies often have proprietary enclosures around the hard drives- kind of like a bracket. You can usually swap them if the hard drives have the same interface and are the same physical size.
What piece of hardware do EIDE cables connect to?
Typically EIDE cables connect to IDE Hard-drives and optical drives such as CD and DVD Drives. The cable connects between the motherboard of the computer and the hard-drive or optical drive. Normally most motherboards have two idea buses. You can have to drives per cable. So a total of 4 drives.
Could you name three items that plug into the motherboard of a typical desktop computer?
Ram,Hard Drives,Disc Drives
Do new hard drives typically attach to the motherboard via an IDE connector?
No, most new hard drives use Serial ATA or SATA connectors.
