Essay / Research Paper Abstract
An 8 page paper discussing drive bay connectivity. The external drive bay carries far more implication for computer users now than when introduced primarily for servicing purposes. Today’s external drive bays support a variety of “plug ins” that actually live up to their names. The purpose here is to review the operation, development and use for external drive bays and the movement away from those offering only internal access. Bibliography lists 15 sources.

drive bay carries far more implication for computer users now than when introduced primarily for servicing purposes. Todays external drive bays support a variety of "plug ins" that actually
live up to their names. The purpose here is to review the operation, development and use for external drive bays and the movement away from those offering only internal
access. Definitions In short, drive bays "are the spaces in the system case where you mount your hard disk, floppy, CD-ROM, tape and
other drives. They come in two general types, external and internal, and two sizes: 5.25" and 3.5"" (Kozierok, 2001). Kozierok (2001) says that a visual cue of whether a
drive is internal or external is whether the entire drive lines up with the space provided for it in the computer case. Kozierok (2001) illustrates this bit of information
with a picture of a tower case with a total of six drive bays, half of which are 5.25" and half of which are 3.5". In the illustration, Kozierok
(2001) points out that the "top two are external; the bottom one internal. You can see that the bottom drive bay does not line up with a faceplate in the
front panel." Kozierok (2001) also explains that the term "external drive bay" is a "bit of a misnomer" in that the term external
generally refers to being outside, but that external drive bays certainly are contained within the tower case. They gain their label as being external from the manner in which
they are used, rather than as a descriptive term designating where they are located. They are external ...because they allow access to the device from the outside. Any drive
