Which of the following options is not associated with expressing Parallel ATA (PATA) devices?

Correct option is B

SATA (Serial ATA) is a standard for connecting and transferring data to and from storage devices using serial communication. It is not compatible with Parallel ATA (PATA) devices, which use parallel communication.
Important Key Points:
1. PATA (Parallel ATA) refers to the older IDE interface standard that uses parallel data transfer.
2. SCSI, PCI: Compatible with PATA-based devices in certain configurations.
3. SATA and SAS: Use serial data transfer and are unrelated to the parallel communication of PATA.
Knowledge Booster:
· FireWire: Typically used for connecting peripheral devices (e.g., cameras) and is unrelated to PATA.
· SATA vs PATA: SATA offers faster data transfer, better cable management, and hot-swapping capabilities.
· SCSI: Commonly used for servers and enterprise storage but can support parallel communication.
