Title
Surveying Today's Most Popular Storage Interfaces
Abstract
In a computer system, a storage interface defines both the boundaries between storage devices--such as hard drives, tape drives, or similar media--and how those dissimilar computing resources engage one another to work as a coherent system. Storage interfaces have been a necessary component of computer systems since computing's inception.Today's storage interface arena consists of diverse industry standards combined with R&D investments from major industry players who continue to aid in the evolution of these numerous technologies. Although SCSIýthe Small Computer Systems Interfaceýis probably the most pivotal standard in use today, other crucial storage protocols include Fibre Channel, IEEE 1394, Serial ATA, and iSCSI.
