Different types of Hard Disk Drive Interfaces


What are some of the popular interfaces for connecting hard disk drives to a computer, in the context of a web server?

I searched and found just 4, and they are:
  • SAS Serial Attached SCSI.
  • SCSI Small Computer Systems Interface.
  • SATA Serial ATA or Serial Advanced Technology Attachment.
  • IDE Integrated/Intelligent Drive/Device Electronics.

This information is something I need for GIDWebhosts.

I have seen articles about, but have absolutely no experience with or knowledge of the availability/popularity of fibre channel technology:

Now, I've told you everything I know. I would be interested in knowing the results of your further research, if it leads anywhere.

Re: Different types of Hard Disk Drive Interfaces


Good ol' Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_dr...and_interfaces

Don't forget about Firewire and USB, not to mention NAS (Network Attached Storage).
