  2. Disk cloning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_cloning

    Upgrading to a larger or faster drive can be facilitated by cloning the old drive to the new drive once it is installed into the system. This reduces the need to having to manually reinstall applications, drivers and the operating system. [10] The procedure can be used when migrating from mechanical hard disk drives to solid state drives. [11]

    The SATADIMM from Viking Technology uses an empty DDR3 DIMM slot on the motherboard to provide power to the SSD with a separate SATA connector to provide the data connection back to the computer. The result is an easy-to-install SSD with a capacity equal to drives that typically take a full 2.5-inch drive bay. [104]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_storage

    A solid-state drive (SSD) provides secondary storage for relatively complex systems including personal computers, embedded systems, portable devices, large servers and network-attached storage (NAS). To satisfy such a wide range of uses, SSDs are produced with various features, capacities, interfaces and physical sizes and layouts.

    The SSD area on the motherboard may also be used to install other devices, accommodate physically larger SSDs, or even hard-solder an SSD salvaged from a 2 GB or 4 GB 700 model. As this requires only soldering on a new device without removing an old one, the risk of doing so may be acceptable to some users.

  7. Hard disk drive interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive_interface

    Several Parallel ATA hard disk drives. Parallel ATA, originally IDE and then standardized under the name AT Attachment (ATA), with the alias P-ATA or PATA retroactively added upon introduction of the new variant Serial ATA. The original name (circa 1986) reflected the integration of the controller with the hard drive itself.

  8. Disk partitioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning

    (Windows drive letters do not correspond to partitions in a one-to-one fashion, so there may be more or fewer drive letters than partitions.) Microsoft Windows 2000 , XP , Vista , and Windows 7 include a ' Disk Management ' program which allows for the creation, deletion and resizing of FAT and NTFS partitions.

  9. Disk formatting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_formatting

    A block, a contiguous number of bytes, is the minimum unit of storage that is read from and written to a disk by a disk driver.The earliest disk drives had fixed block sizes (e.g. the IBM 350 disk storage unit (of the late 1950s) block size was 100 six-bit characters) but starting with the 1301 [8] IBM marketed subsystems that featured variable block sizes: a particular track could have blocks ...
