a method that configures two or more hard drives to work together as an array(series) of drives.it has 2 merits- 1.to improve performance by writing data to two or more hard drives so that a single drive is not excessively used. 2.to improve fault tolerance.
ATA or Advanced Technology Attachment is the interface that most workstation drives use.
S.M.A.R.T. stands for Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology. S.M.A.R.T. technology was developed by a number of major hard disk drive manufacturers to increase the reliability of hard drives. It is a technology that enables the PC to predict the future failure of hard disk drives. S.M.A.R.T. technology has become an industry standard for hard drive manufacturers.
cypher technology is to record data into CD DVD or flash drives

Drives are called "drives" because they are devices that "drive" the reading and writing of data to and from storage media. The term originates from the early days of computing, where these devices operated mechanical components to access data, resembling the action of driving a vehicle. Over time, the term has persisted, even as technology evolved from mechanical systems to electronic and solid-state solutions. In essence, drives facilitate the storage and retrieval of information, making them integral to computer functionality.

USB Flash Drives are called thumb drives
