Well it can vary between high speed SATA or high speed IDE hard drives. They all link into a port on the side or middle of a motherboard. an IDE hard drive is a hard drive with a long rectangular outlet or hookup to the motherboard. A SATA hard drive is a small but reliable plug to the motherboard about half an inch long.

Partially. The answer is a little complicated as what a computer does is governed by a combination of hardware, firmware, and software.
