Chapter 3 Key Terms

__________ was released with the second major release of Windows 95. Although this file system can support larger drives, today’s Windows versions support volumes only up to 32 GB. __________ also supports long file names.

__________  is a gigabit-speed technology primarily used for storage networking. It
uses a Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) as its transport protocol, which allows SCSI commands to be issued over _________.

__________, is a simple file system that uses minimum memory and was even used with DOS.

__________, connects a host system
such as a computer to a network or storage device. It is primarily used to refer to connecting SCSI, Fibre Channel, and eSATA devices; however, devices for connecting to IDE, Ethernet, FireWire, USB, and other systems may also be called host adapters.

A __________ is much like it sounds. When drives need to be fault tolerant, you can combine a __________ drive with a RAID. Then, if a drive fails, the system will automatically grab the __________ drive to replace the failed drive and rebuild or restore the missing data.

__________ drives are designed as fast, low-cost drives. Traditional __________ drives were based on the
parallel AT attachment (ATA) standard that used a parallel 40-pin/80-conductor connector. Today’s __________ drives follow the serial ATA standard (SATA), which uses a connector that is attached with only four wires and a smaller power connector.

__________ is an Internet Protocol (IP)-based storage networking standard for linking data storage facilities. __________ allows clients to send SCSI commands over a TCP/IP network using TCP port 3260. Similar to Fibre Channel, __________ can communicate using Gigabit Ethernet or Fibre, and it can connect a SAN to multiple servers over a distance.

__________ allows a SAN to break its storage down into manageable pieces, which are then assigned to one or more servers in the SAN.

__________ is a file-level data storage device that is connected to a computer network to provide shared drives or folders, usually using SMB/CIFS.

__________ is the preferred file system, largely because it supports both a much larger hard disk (up to 16 exabytes) and long file names. In addition, __________ is more fault tolerant than previous file systems used in Windows because it uses journaling to make sure that disk transactions are written properly before they can be recognized.

__________ is defining and dividing a physical or virtual disk into logical volumes called
__________.

__________ refers to the method that Windows uses to organize partitions on a
disk.

A __________ uses two or more drives
in combination to create a fault-tolerant system that protects against physical hard drive failure and increases hard drive performance. A __________ can be accomplished with either hardware or software and is usually used with network servers.

Today’s IDE drives follow the __________, which uses a connector that is attached with only four wires and a smaller power connector.

Today’s hard drives are either integrated drive electronics (IDE) or __________, pronounced “skuzzy,” drives. Even if you use RAID, a NAS, or a SAN, they most likely still use IDE or __________ drives.

A __________ is an architecture used for disk arrays, tape libraries, and optical jukeboxes to appear as locally attached drives on a server. A __________ always uses some form of RAID and other technology to make the system redundant against drive failure and to offer high performance.

__________ allows you to copy a storage
area to another storage area within a SAN or to another SAN
