Translation Translation is the process of redefining the physical parameters of a hard disk drive to parameters compatible with the BIOS and operating system of a computer. Ultra ATA Ultra ATA (also known as Ultra DMA) is a data transfer protocol for transferring data to and from main memory without passing it through the processor. Ultra ATA differs from traditional DMA by using a strobe signal to latch data at twice the data rate. Ultra ATA improves speed and efficiency by allowing the processor to perform other operations while data is retrieved from the drive. UNIX UNIX is an operating system developed for multitasking in a multi-user environment. The UNIX operating system was originally developed for use on minicomputers but has been adapted for mainframes, microcomputers, and PCs. Windows NT Windows NT is Microsoft's 32-bit New Technology operating system. Windows NT 3.5 and 4.0 support FAT16 and NTFS (New Technology File System). Windows NT 4.0 does not support FAT32. 56
