HARD DISK TYPES [SATA | IDE | EIDE]
The hard drive is the component which stores all your data. It houses the dark disk where all your files and folders and physically located.
SATA stands for “Serial Advanced Technology Attachment” or “Serial ATA”. It’s an interference used to ATA hard drives to a computers motherboard. The transfer rates start at 150MBps.
IDE stands for “Integrated Device Electronics” which are the most widely-used hard drive interface on the market. The name refers to how the technology integrates the electronics controller into the drive itself.
EIDE stands for “Enhanced Integrated Drive Electronics”. EIDE is the improved version of the IDE drive interface, it provides faster data transfer rates than the original standard. EIDE can transfer data upto 16.6Mbps, 2x faster than IDE.

Configuration (Master | slave)
Hard drive configuration master slave is a model of communication where a device or process has unidirectional control over one or more other devices. In other systems a master is elected from a group of eligible devices, with the other devices acting in the role of slaves
