FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -Today’s hard drives use SATA or SAS interfaces, which are the serial versions of their PATA and SCSI predecessors. SATA drives are found in most personal computers unless they use solid state drives (SSDs), in which case the NVMe interface is an option (see NVMe).

Detailed explanation-2: -Introduced in 2003, SATA (or Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) is the default interface for most desktop and laptop hard drives. They are referred to as SATA hard drives, but they are actually rotary hard drives with spinning platters and a moving needle that writes data to consecutive sectors on each platter.

Detailed explanation-3: -SATA (Serial AT Attachment) is a computer bus interface that connects host bus adapters to mass storage devices such as hard disk drives, optical drives, and solid-state drives. Serial ATA succeeded the earlier Parallel ATA (PATA) standard to become the predominant interface for storage devices.

Detailed explanation-4: -Types of Interfaces. These names come from the way they connect to the computer. So, there are PATA hard drives, SATA hard drives, SCSI hard drives, and NVMe drives.
