FATA
Last modified: Friday, July 06, 2007
Short for Fibre Channel ATA FATA is a hybrid
hard drive first introduced by
HP in 2004 that combines both
Fibre Channel and ATA technologies. FATA drives use
an ATA drive mechanism, offering the same performance and capacity as a standard
ATA drive, but also feature a Fibre Channel connector, which enables the FATA
drive to be used where conventional Fibre Channel drives are currently
connected.
