transfers between storage devices and the computer chipsets. The SATA
bus has transfer speeds up to 1.5 Gbps and the SATA II bus has data
transfer speeds of up to 3.0 Gbps.
S .M.A.R .T Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T) refers to
automatic status checking technology implemented on hard disk drives.
UAR T
Universal Asynchronous Receiver-transmitter (UART) is responsible for
asynchronous communications on the system and manages the system’s
serial communication (COM) ports.
UHC I The Universal Host Controller Interface (UHCI) specification is a
register-level interface description for USB 1.1 Host Controllers.
US B The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is an external bus standard for
interfacing devices. USB 1.1 supports 12Mbps data transfer rates and
USB 2.0 supports 480Mbps data transfer rates.
VG A The Video Graphics Array (VGA) is a graphics display system developed
