A drive interface specification in which the disk controller is built into the drive itself and a host adapter provides connectivity to the expansion bus. By physically integrating the controller on the drive, higher performance can be achieved.
A standard interface for hard disks which provides for building most of the controller circuitry into the disk drive to save space. IDE controllers are functionally equivalent to ST-506 standard controllers. Contrast with EDSI, SCSI, ST-506.
The standard interface which today's storage devices are connected to. It is what is used to connect almost all hard drives, CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs and CD-Writable drives. Most motherboards have 2 different IDE controllers, each able to support up to 2 devices. Almost all IDE devices are compatible with the Enhanced IDE (EIDE) interface, which allows for higher transfer speeds.
A standard electronic interface between the data paths (or bus) of the computer motherboard and the computer's disk storage devices. It has been replaced by EIDE.
is a standard electronics interface used between a computers motherboard's data path or bus and the computer's disk storage device
IDE) Standard electronic interface used between a computer motherboard's data paths and the computer's storage devices (e.g.: hard drives, floppies, Jazz drives, etc). See also EIDE.
The most widely used bus on today's PC s for hard disks. An IDE bus can contain up to two devices, and the speed of the bus is limited by the device on the bus with the slower command queue (and not the slower transfer rate!). See Also ATAPI. IP masquerading This is a technique where a firewall is used to hide your computer's true IP address from the outside. Typically, any outside network connections you make through the firewall will inherit the firewall's IP address. This is useful in situations where you may have a fast Internet connection with only one IP address but wish to use more than one computer on your internal network. IRC
