ATA is the abbreviated form “advanced technology attachment. According to the standard for connecting disk drives and storage devices, motherboard system. Reference is also made to the IDE. And replaced the former ATA technologies such as security MFM and RLL. Over the years the ATA has improved to higher speeds and each new standard developed by ATA number attributed to set apart the former standards.
The first interface makes using bus interface logic (TTL) Transistor transistor which uses protocol carrier standard architecture (ISA) industry. The main advantage about ISA Protocol contains a method of asynchronous data transfer, and this only can be one of the data or send command in the same time.
133 ATA standard, also referred to as 7 standard, is ATA drive standard known as speed 133 MB. Technical uses standard ATA DMA to edit additional processor time to allow peripherals to access the system RAM. And release much of the discussion turned to the preferred standard for implementing serial link in system hardware. Advanced form of Ultra ATA ATA 133.
ATA standards after insert serial data transfer and has no parallel data transfer schemes. An interesting feature on the serial ATA is that it makes use of 4 wires and cables is preferred when the data was taken at higher speeds.
Newer standards change of parallel data transfer system for serial data. Serial ATA (SATA) uses cables 4 wires narrower and preferred interface with fast data transfer speed. 7 ATA and SATA drives offer, while set 8 ATA for use with hybrid drives this feature internal flash memory cache. Advanced form of ATA “ATA”, combining technology with the latest submission interface transmission speeds higher and faster.
