Disk drive interfaces have evolved from simple interfaces requiring complex controllers to attach to a computer into high level interfaces that present a consistent interface to a computer system regardless of the internal technology of the hard disk drive. The following table lists some common HDD interfaces in chronological order:
A mainframe terminology introduced by IBM denoting secondary storage with random access, typically (arrays of) hard disk drives. direct mapped cache A cache where each physical address may only be mapped to one cache line, indexed using the low bits of the address. Simple but highly prone to allocation conflicts. direct memory access (DMA)
Typical hard disk drives attempt to "remap" the data in a physical sector that is failing to a spare physical sector provided by the drive's "spare sector pool" (also called "reserve pool"), [68] while relying on the ECC to recover stored data while the number of errors in a bad sector is still low enough.
Examples of computer connector sockets on various laptops Ports on the back of the Apple Mac Mini (2005). A computer port is a hardware piece on a computer where an electrical connector can be plugged to link the device to external devices, such as another computer, a peripheral device or network equipment.

There are adapters, sometimes called a "sled", which can be used to mount a 3.5″ device in a 5.25″ bay. More recently, it is becoming common to use 3.5″ bays for smart card and memory card readers, or for panels with additional USB ports. A 3.5″ drive containing both a card reader and a floppy drive, as well as a USB port, is also ...
Use the Disk Cleanup function on Windows. Windows has a built-in feature that helps you free up disk space; it’s called Disk Cleanup. Just click the Start button and then search for it by name.
Normally, hard disk drives make use of two cables: one for data and one for power, and they also have their specific parameters (SCSI ID etc.) to be set using jumpers on each drive. Drives employing SCA have only one plug which carries both data and power and also allows them to receive their configuration parameters from the SCSI backplane.
(WHTM)—Cheez-It crackers have been a staple of American snacking for decades. Made with a mix that includes shredded cheese, flour, and paprika, the 1×1-inch squares are one of the most popular ...
