storage, hardware (ESDI) An obsolete
hard disk and intended to be the successor to the original
still could not compete with
IDE and
SCSI.
EDSI used two cables: a 20-pin data cable to each drive and a
single 34-pin control cable
daisy chain with the controller
at one end and a terminator at the other. In PCs, it
supported up to two drives at 1-2MB/s with drives up to 2GB.
