Of the following: ide,fdd,scsi,eide the "FDD" stands for "floppy disk drive", and is not a hard drive.
1. they are cheaper 2. they are easier to setup
Geoff Housers mom The three common interface standards for a CD drive are EIDE (aka parallel ATA), serial ATA, and SCSI interface with a host adapter. You can also hook up a portable or external drive via USB, Fire Wire, or a SCSI port.
A CD drive can interface with a mother board using an EIDE, SATA or SCSI interface.
The purpose of SCSI hard drives are to exchange information between separate computers. Whereas, EIDE hard drives addresses a computers interface between its individual hard drive and its storage disks.
Research and development of SCSI standards is done by the T10 Technical Committee. SCSI is short for Small Computer System Interface.
SCSI stands for Small Computer System Interface. It is a set of standards for connection and transfer of data to peripheral devices.
SCSI or Small Computer System Interface is a set of standards for connecting computers and peripheral devices for data transfer. SCSI is commonly used for hard disks and tape drives, but can connect a wide range of other devices like optical drives like CD/DVD drive if the specific device being connected supports the standard. There are different SCSI port types like parallel SCSI, serial SCSI, Fiber SCSI and iSCSI. More details can also be found on Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCSI - Neeraj Sharma
SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) is a set of standards for physically connecting and transferring data between computers and peripheral devices. SCSI is most commonly used for hard disks and tape drives, but it can also be used to connect other devices, including scanners and CD drives. An SCSI drive is usually referred to a disk drive that uses the SCSI standard interface and commands to connect and transfer data to/from the computer.
Up to 8 or 16 devices can be attached to a single bus.
There are several interface standards for passing data between a hard disk and a computer. The most common are IDE and SCSI.
Three common standard interfaces CD-ROM drives use are IDE, SCSI, and USB. Newer interfaces may supplant these three for the lead.
