   A 3.5-inch Serial ATA hard disk drive A 2.5-inch Serial ATA solid-state drive. SATA was announced in 2000 [4] [5] in order to provide several advantages over the earlier PATA interface such as reduced cable size and cost (seven conductors instead of 40 or 80), native hot swapping, faster data transfer through higher signaling rates, and more efficient transfer through an (optional) I/O queuing ...

3. Hard disk drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive

   A hard disk drive (HDD), hard disk, hard drive, or fixed disk [a] is an electro-mechanical data storage device that stores and retrieves digital data using magnetic storage with one or more rigid rapidly rotating platters coated with magnetic material.

4. Hard disk drive interface - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive_interface

   The earliest hard disk drive (HDD) interfaces were bit serial data interfaces that connected an HDD to a controller with two cables, one for control and one for data. [ a ] An additional cable was used for power, initially frequently AC but later usually connected directly to a DC power supply unit.

5. Hard disk drive performance characteristics - Wikipedia

   On SCSI hard disk drives, the SCSI controller can directly control spin up and spin down of the drives. Some Parallel ATA (PATA) and Serial ATA (SATA) hard disk drives support power-up in standby (PUIS): each drive does not spin up until the controller or system BIOS issues a specific command to do so. This allows the system to be set up to ...

   The first mode is the Intel driver SATA normal and the latter mode is a fake RAID. [1] Up to version 4 it is included on Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition , [ 2 ] between versions 5 and 8.9 it is included on Intel Matrix Storage Manager ( IMSM ), since version 9 it is included on Intel Rapid Storage Technology ( IRST ) preferring the ...

7. Advanced Host Controller Interface - Wikipedia

   A similar problem can occur on Linux systems if the AHCI driver is compiled as a kernel module rather than built into the kernel image, as it may not be included in the initrd (initial RAM disk) created when the controller is configured to run in Legacy Mode. The solution is either to build a new initrd containing the AHCI module, or to build ...
