SSD – Solid State Drive
A Solid State Drive (SSD) is a type of storage device that stores data persistently using integrated circuit assemblies as memory to store data. Unlike traditional hard disk drives (HDDs), which use spinning magnetic disks and mechanical arms to read and write data, SSDs have no moving parts and store data electronically. Here are some…

SATA – Serial Advanced Technology Attachment
Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) is a computer bus interface used to connect storage devices such as hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), and optical drives to the motherboard of a computer. SATA interfaces have largely replaced older parallel ATA (PATA) interfaces due to their improved performance and smaller cables. Here are some key…

ROM – Read Only-Memory
Read-Only Memory (ROM) is a type of non-volatile memory used in computers and other electronic devices. As the name suggests, ROM retains its stored data even when the power is turned off. Unlike Random Access Memory (RAM), ROM is not typically used for storing data that needs to be frequently modified or accessed during normal…

RDMA – Remote Direct Memory Access
Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) is a technology that allows data to be transferred between computers or systems over a network without involving the processors of the computers. Instead, RDMA enables data to be read from or written to the memory of one computer directly to another computer’s memory, bypassing the operating system and CPU…
