- ATA
AT Attachment. A popular 16-bit interface standard that extends the ISA bus of the IBM PC-AT to attach peripherals;. It has been developed through a number of generations, and the original ATA is more commonly known as IDE. - FCAA
Fibre Channel Array Accelerator - IDE
Integrated Drive Electronics - IDE ATAPI Devices
ATAPI devices include CD-ROMs, CD-Recordable, CD-RW, DVD, tape drives, some super-floppy drives (ZIP and LS-120), and changers. - IDE Controllers (Hard Disk)
A much simpler board interfaced the IDE hard disk to the motherboard bus. It is actually nothing more than a bus interface and an interface and connector for the IDE cable going to the drive. The actual controller is on the drive. - IDE Hard Drive
IDE Hard Drives have the electronics and firmware (low-level software on a chip) in a printed circuit board on the drive itself - RAID
Redundant Array of Independent (or Inexpensive) Disks, a category of disk drives that employ two or more drives in combination for fault tolerance and performance - SAN
Storage area network. A storage area network (SAN) is a high-speed special-purpose network (or subnetwork) that interconnects different kinds of data storage devices with associated data servers on behalf of a larger network of users. Typically, a storage area network is part of the overall network of computing resources for an enterprise. - SAS
Serial Attached SCSI - SATA
Serial ATA - SCSI
small computer system interfaces provide for faster data transmission rates (up to 80 megabytes per second) than standard serial and parallel ports. Many devices can be attached to a single SCSI port, so that SCSI is really an I/O bus rather than simply an interface
- WBEM
WBEM is Windows Management Instrumentation a new management technology allowing scripts to monitor and control managed resources throughout the network. Resources include hard drives, file systems, operating system settings, processes, services, shares, registry settings, networking components, event logs, users, and groups. WBEM is built into clients with Windows 2000 or above, and can be installed on any other 32-bit Windows client. - WORM drive
A write-once, read-many times device.
