What does SATA mean? | Serial AT attachment |
What is the latest generation of standards for hard disk and other storage devices? | Serial ATA(SATA) |
What was the the data transfer rate for SATA I? | 1.5 Gbps (150 MBps) |
Which SATA standards were for 1.5 Gbps (150 MBps) data transfer. | SATA I |
What are two other names for SATA 3Gbps? | SATA II and SATA-IO |
What speeds can the second generation of SATA devices support? | 3 Gbps (300 MBps) |
While often referred to as SATA II, what is the correct designation? | SATA-IO |
What is the term for Xbox360 hard disk interface? | xSATA |
Xbox360 hard disk interface (called xSATA) is an included enhancement in which version of SATA? | SATA-IO |
Hot plug support, allowing drives to be added and removed while the system is running is an included enhancement in which version of SATA? | SATA-IO |
Improved connectors to reduce ESD, improved usability, and extend life when used with external devices is an included enhancement in which version of SATA? | SATA-IO |
What does NCQ mean? | Native Command Queuing |
Native Command Queuing (NCQ) for increased performance is an included enhancement in which version of SATA? | SATA-IO |
Port multiplier support, allowing multiple devices to be connected to a single SATA port is an included enhancement in which version of SATA? | SATA-IO |
What speeds can the third generation of SATA devices support? | 6 Gbps (600 MBps) |
What is the term for third generation of SATA devices? | SATA 6 Gbps |
The third generation of SATA devices support up to 6 Gbps.(600 MBps) This standard mainly addresses which devices with a SATA? | Solid state drives |
What does SSD mean? | Solid state drive |
True or false, hard drives are not capable of sending data at SATA 6 Gbps? (600Mbps) | True |
Which standard includes new connectors for solid state devices and thin optical drives? | SATA 6 Gbps |
What does eSATA mean? | External Serial AT Attachment |
Which standards are a subset of other standards specifically for externally connected devices? | eSATA |
Which standard uses a special SATA data cable with a locking clip to prevent the cable from being accidentally disconnected? | eSATA |
Which standard requires an external power connector or power source? | eSATA |
Why do eSATA devices require an external power connector or power source? | Because power is not supplied through the SATA data cable |
eSATA is typically faster than which two other alternatives for external storage devices? | USB and Firewire |
Which standard has its own channel, with a single drive connected to each cable and port? | SATA |
Which standard can the cable length be up to one meter? | SATA |
Which standard can the cable length be up to two meters? | eSATA |
Which standard devices use a special 15-pin power connector that supplies 3.3, 5, and 12 volts | SATA |
SATA devices use a special 15-pin power connector. What voltages are supplied? | 3.3, 5, and 12 |
You can use an adapter cable to convert a 4-pin Molex connector to a SATA power connector. What would you lose by doing this? | 3.3 volts |
With this standard most devices typically do not use 3.3 volts. What is the standard? | SATA |
What type of devices can you connect using the SATA standard? | Hard drives, Optical drives (CD/DVD/Blu-ray) and Solid state drives (SSD) |
All new motherboards include support for multiple devices. What is the standard? | SATA |
True or false, some motherboards include eSATA connectors, or you can use a port connector device to add external ports using the internal SATA connections? | True |
True or false, you can install an adapter card in an available bus slot to increase the number of SATA ports? | True |
After installing the SATA drives, where will you need to configure the SATA mode? | In the BIOS |
What are the possible options in BIOS for configuring SATA mode? | IDE, AHCI, and RAID |
Which mode do SATA devices appear to the BIOS and the operating system as IDE devices? | IDE-compatible mode |
Which mode are SATA Speeds and features limited to features available with IDE devices. For example, hot swapping is not supported for devices in IDE mode | IDE-compatible mode |
Which mode did earlier operating systems without built-in SATA support have the capability to directly access IDE-mode drives without special drivers installed? | IDE-compatible mode |
Which mode is the default mode for most computers? | IDE |
What does AHCI mean? | Advanced Host Controller Interface |
Which mode can devices operate in full SATA mode? | AHCI |
Which mode are all SATA features available such as hot swapping and native command queuing? | AHCI |
Which mode did earlier operating systems (Windows XP SP1 and earlier) require a driver to access devices operating in this mode? | AHCI |
True or false, recent operating systems include a built-in driver for AHCI mode? | True |
Which mode has an onboard controller that is used to control access to drives? | RAID |
Which mode must have the controller driver loaded in the operating system to access the drives? | RAID |
Which mode typically includes the features available in AHCI mode? | RAID |
Which mode would you choose to configure arrays of disks for fault tolerance and/or performance? | RAID |
When installing a newer SATA II drive into a system that only supports SATA I, you might need to Configure the drive to operate in SATA I mode. How is this typically done? | Setting a jumper |
When installing a newer SATA II drive into a system that only supports SATA I, you might need to update to recognize the new drive? | The BIOS |
Some SATA II drives will not work in a motherboard that supports only SATA I. In that case, what should you install? | SATA II controller card |
