What power connector type did older drives require?
What is the purpose of the 4-pin Molex connector? To power older IDE (PATA) drives and some newer SATA drives. Laptops use compact hard drives that can withstand movement even during operation, and small memory modules and CPUs that require less voltage than regular components.
How is the best way to determine if a cable inside a computer is a data and instruction cable or a power cable *?
The best way to determine if a cable inside a computer is a data and instruction cable or a power cable is by its location in the computer because data and instruction cable are attached to the motherboard and power supply has its own separate cable for power.
Which is faster a Hi Speed USB port or SuperSpeed USB port?
Which is faster, a Hi – Speed USB port or a SuperSpeed USB port? SuperSpeed USB is faster than Hi – Speed USB. What type of output does an S/PDIF port provide? Connect to external home theater audio system that provides the best signal quality and digital audio output.
What is the most common connector used today for hard drives?
The most common connectors are: Molex: Power connector for IDE hard drives (also called PATA).
What are connectors inside the case called?
Internal connectors are found inside a computer case. There are two primary types of connectors found internally: socket connectors and power connectors.
Where do you connect the Molex connector?
the molex connectors are to connect the fans directly to the PSU. The female part of the Fan- Molex – Connector to the male connector of the PSU. The male part of the fan is just so you don’t lose a connector by using the fan and can connect to any other molex female connector in your setup to supply power.
What is a Molex connector used for?
Certain Molex connectors are used for providing power to the motherboard, fans, floppy disk drive, CD/DVD drive, video card, some older hard drive models, and more. Compatible connectors are available from many manufacturers, not just Molex and AMP.
What are the three purposes accomplished by the motherboard BIOS?
The system BIOS manages essential devices (such as the keyboard, mouse, hard drive, and monitor) before the OS is launched. the startup BIOS is used to start the computer and lastly BIOS setup or CMOS setup is used to change the motherboard configuration orsettings.
How much power is consumed by a load drawing 5 A with 120 V across it?
How much power is consumed by a load drawing 5 A with 120 V across it? Answer:The question is asking about power consumption, which is watts. The formula for this is: W = V *A. So 5A * 120V = 600 watts 3.
Why is an SSD hard drive more reliable under rugged conditions than an IDE hard drive?
Why is an SSD hard drive more reliable under rugged conditions than an IDE hard drive? Because the SSD drive has no moving parts.
