Abstract
IDE and SCSI interfaces are used to interface to disk drives and mass storage devices. Disks are used to store data reliably in the long term. Typical disk drives store binary information as magnetic fields on a fixed disk (as in a hard disk drive), a plastic disk (as in a floppy disk or tape drive), or as optical representation (on optical disks).
