Data Recovery Glossary (Letter P)

PC
Personal computer.

PRML (Partial Response Maximum Likelihood)
A read channel using sampled data, active equalization and Veterbi detection to accurately retrieve the user data off the disk.

Partition
A way to logically divide a hard drive so that an operating system treats each partition as a separate hard drive. Each partition has a unique drive letter.

Passive Termination
A termination architecture that is used to match the impedance at the end of the SCSI bus by using a voltage divider network of passive resistors.

Peripheral
A device that performs a function and is external to the system board. Peripherals include displays, disk drives, and printers.

Platform
A basic design from which a series of products is engineered and produced.

Platter
An actual metal (or other rigid material) disk that is mounted inside a fixed-disk drive. Many drives consist of multiple platters mounted on the spindle to provide more data storage surfaces. Each platter may use one or both surfaces to store data.

Port
A connection or socket on the motherboard or controller card. A motherboard may have one or two ports (primary and secondary). If your motherboard has only one port, you may need to add a controller card to create a secondary port.

Pre-fetch
Instructions that are loaded into a queue when the processor’s external bus is otherwise idle.

Primary Partition
The partition where the operating system files are stored. To start your operating system from a hard disk, it must have a primary partition. You must also make the primary partition active.

Product Road Map
A company’s plan for the introduction of new products.

Protocol
A convention of data transmission that defines timing, control format, and data representation.

Programmed I/O
In a disk drive with an AT interface, data transfers between the drive and host using programmed I/O (PIO). The host uses PIO to write to the Command Block Registers (CBRs) when transmitting control information, such as the location of a read command.

Proximity Recording
A recording technology that increases recording density by allowing the read/write head to come in close proximity to the disk surface.

Customer Reviews of the Western Digital WDBAAU0030HBK-NESN:

Its a great external hard drive, I have several 1.5TB models just like this deployed in our office, and just like them they are very quiet and effective as a backup solution.

Yes it’s on, for reals. It’s so quite it makes me question my own ears. I got the 3TB version, and maybe I will be able to fill it in about 100 years. j/k. I have 5 externals running off of a powered hub on my laptop at all times and this one takes the cake as the largest and quietest one of them all. One HD to rule them all? Maybe, if the cake is a lie. Seriously, buy this one and site back and relax.
