  2. Hard disk drive interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive_interface

    Enhanced Small Disk Interface (ESDI) was an attempt to minimize controller design time by supporting multiple data rates with a standard data encoding scheme; this was usually negotiated automatically by the disk drive and controller; most of the time, however, 15 or 20 megabit ESDI disk drives were not downward compatible (i.e. a 15 or 20 ...

    A USB device pulls one of the data lines high with a 1.5 kΩ resistor. This overpowers one of the 15 kΩ pull-down resistors in the host and leaves the data lines in an idle state called J. For USB 1.x, the choice of data line indicates what signal rates the device is capable of: full-bandwidth devices pull D+ high,

    The USB-C plug A cable with a USB‑C plug, and a USB-C port on a notebook computer. The USB-C connector supersedes all earlier USB connectors and the Mini DisplayPort connector. It is used for all USB protocols and for Thunderbolt (3 and later), DisplayPort (1.2 and later), and others.

  5. eSATAp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESATAp

    eSATAp throughput is not necessarily the same as SATA, many enclosures and docks that support both eSATA and USB use combo bridge chips which can severely reduce the throughput, and USB throughput is that of the USB version supported by the port (typically USB 3.0 or 2.0). eSATAp ports (bracket versions [clarification needed]) can run at a ...

    The throughput of each USB port is determined by the slower speed of either the USB port or the USB device connected to the port. High-speed USB 2.0 hubs contain devices called transaction translators that convert between high-speed USB 2.0 buses and full and low speed buses. There may be one translator per hub or per port.

    These cables still only supported two drives, one before and one after the twist, but they allowed using one cable for any combination of drives with differing connectors. This type of cable is called a universal cable. [8] When multiple floppy disks are connected, many pins are shared, including the read and write data pins.

  9. USB killer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_Killer

    Versions of the device have been reported to deliver a pulse of around negative [4] 200 V. [2] [5] This greatly exceeds the normal voltage the USB host adapter is designed to accept; the intention is that the device will destroy it (and perhaps the southbridge which it often forms part of). In many cases, this will render the computer inoperable.
