| While the
primary interface choice for storage area networks (SAN),
Fibre Channel is also the most popular enterprise-class
drive interface because of its dual-port feature and enriched
command set. Fibre Channel runs the SCSI protocol.

Serial
Attached SCSI is the new standard which was introduced
by the SCSI Trade Association to meet the ever-demanding
needs of enterprise storage for high performance, high
reliability and high manageability.

Small
Computer System Interface (SCSI) was the most common interface
used on legacy enterprise-class rotating hard drives.

Serial
ATA is the next-generation internal storage protocol,
designed to replace parallel ATA technology.

The
IDE/ATA interface has long been the most popular storage
media connection. At STEC,
we are committed to providing new, evolving, and high-performance
solid state drive designs based on the ATA interface.

CompactFlash has
come as far as hard drive replacements with capacities
of 32GB. Its interface ATA-5 compatible with transfer
modes: PIO 0-6, MWDMA 0-4 which supports PC Card Memory,
PC Card I/O and True IDE Mode has given it the flexibility
and the standardization to compete with the larger PC
card Type I memory card.

| With
the increasing popularity of USB for attaching peripheral
devices, due to its efficient electrical and mechanical
interface and hot pluggability, it was only a matter of
time up until storage devices would incorporate the USB
Interface.

The
SD interface allows for easy integration of the SecureDigital
cards in any application. The communication over the SD
bus is based on command and data bit streams which are
initiated by a start bit and terminated by a stop bit.
|
|
The
MMC interface allows for easy integration of the MultiMediaCards
in any application. The communication over the MMC bus
is based on command and data bit streams which are initiated
by a start bit and terminated by a stop bit.

| PCMCIA
interface was originally for memory
expansion, but the existence of a usable general standard
for notebook peripherals led to all manner of devices
being made available in this form. Typical devices include
network cards, modems and hard disks.
|
|
On top of their proprietary interfaces, both SD and
MMC cards can be addressed via the Serial Parallel Interface
(SPI). The SPI bus is a byte oriented general purpose
synchronous serial interface.

STEC's OEM grade DRAM modules are highcapacity, high-performance,
and high-reliablity modules designs for the demanding
needs of servers, telecom, embedded applications, and
other complex products.
