Which of the following is a computer bus interface for connecting host bus adapters to mass storage devices such as hard disk drives and optical drives?
A) Serial-attached SCSI (SAS)
B) Fiber Channel
C) Internet SCSI (iSCSI)
D) Serial ATA (SATA)
D) Serial ATA (SATA)
The Serial ATA (SATA) is a computer bus interface for connecting host bus adapters to mass storage devices such as hard disk drives and optical drives. It is a type of hard drive that requires a serial data channel to connect the drive controller and the disk drives.
The Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) is an Internet Protocol (IP)-based storage networking standard for linking data storage facilities. It can be used to transmit data over local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), or the Internet, and can enable location-independent data storage and retrieval.
The Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is a serial version of the SCSI interfaces. SAS is a point-to-point architecture that uses a disk controller with four or more channels operating simultaneously.
The Fiber Channel, or FC, is a gigabit-speed network technology used for storage networking. It is used primarily in the supercomputer field, but has become the standard connection type for storage area networks (SANs) in enterprise storage. Despite its name, Fiber Channel signaling can run on both twisted pair copper wire and fiber-optic cables.
