host adapter
— A controller that implements communication between the system’s
bus and the peripheral device, typically a storage device.
hot-plug
— The ability to insert or install a device, typically a hard drive or an internal
cooling fan, into the host system while the system is powered on and running.
Hz
— Hertz.
I/O
— Input/output. A keyboard is an input device, and a monitor is an output device.
In general, I/O activity can be differentiated from computational activity.
