IDE
IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) -
see ATA.
Initialization
Initialization -
a process preparing a disk array for use.
Initialization involves a first-time parity calculation for all data in RAID5, or making a full disk-to-disk copy in RAID1.
i-node
i-node -
a block storing file metadata such as attributes, data location, and other important information
in traditional UNIX/Linux filesystems such as UFS or Ext.
Intention log
Intention log - see Journaling filesystem
Interleave factor
Interleave factor -
a number of sectors which pass under a read/write head while the hard drive processes the sector it just read, before it starts dealing with the next sector.
Sectors on a track are arranged in a specific pattern so that as the processing of the sector is complete,
the next sector is just arriving under a head.
Proper interleaving significantly reduces rotational latency.
Interleaving is not used in modern hard drives because processing speed increased significantly.
Internal drive
Internal drive -
a device to store data, connected to a computer motherboard directly.
