What does "NAS" stand for? |
|
| "NAS" is the acronym of Network-attached storage, which is file-level computer data storage connected to a computer network. It can provide data access to heterogeneous network clients. |

What does "eSATA" stand for? |
|
"eSATA" - "external SATA" is a version of SATA meant for external connectivity. It has revised electrical requirements of SATA in addition to incompatible cables and connectors. Identical protocol and logical signaling, allowing native SATA devices to be deployed in external enclosures with minimal modification. The maximum cable length is for 2 meters.
The external cable connector is a shielded version of the connector specified in SATA 1.0a with these basic differences: The external connector has no "L" shaped key, and the guide features are vertically offset and reduced in size. This prevents the use of unshielded internal cables in external applications and vice- versa. To prevent ESD damage, the insertion depth is increased from 5 mm to 6.6 mm and the contacts are mounted farther back in both the receptacle and plug. To provide EMI protection and meet FCC and CE emission requirements, the cable has an extra layer of shielding, and the connectors have metal contact points. There are springs as retention features built into the connector shield on both the top and bottom surfaces. The external connector and cable are designed for over 5,000 insertions and removals while the internal connector is only specified to withstand 50 times.
SATA and eSATA connectors aimed at the consumer market, eSATA enters an external storage market already served by the USB and FireWire interfaces. Most external hard disk drive cases with FireWire or USB interfaces use either PATA or SATA drives and "bridges" to translate between the drives and enclosure. And this bridging incurs some inefficiency, Some single disks can transfer almost 120 MB/s during real use, more than twice the maximum transfer rate of USB 2.0 or FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394a) and well in excess of the maximum transfer rate of FireWire 800, though the FireWire 1394b spec reaches ~400 MB/s (3.2Gbit/s). Finally, some low-level drive features, such as S.M.A.R.T., may not be available through USB or FireWire bridging. eSATA does not suffer from these issues.
There were a number of products designed for external connections of SATA drives. Some of these use the internal SATA connector or even connectors designed for other interface specifications, such as FireWire. These products are not eSATA compliant. The final eSATA specification features a specific connector designed for rough handling, similar to the regular SATA connector, but with reinforcements in both the male and female sides, inspired by the USB connector. It's harder to unplug, and can withstand yanking or wiggling which would break a male SATA connector (the hard drive or host adapter, usually fitted inside the computer). With an eSATA connector considerably more force is needed to damage the connector, and if it does break it is likely to be the female side, on the cable itself, which is relatively easy to replace. |

What is Skype? |
|
Skype is software that allows users to make telephone calls over the Internet. Calls to other users of the service are free, while calls to other landlines and mobile phones can be made for a fee. Additional features include instant messaging, file transfer and video conferencing. Skype uses a proprietary Internet telephony (VoIP) network. The protocol has not been made publicly available by Skype and official applications using the protocol are proprietary and closed-source. The main difference between Skype and regular VoIP clients is that Skype operates on a peer- to-peer model rather than the more usual client-server model.
Skype has experienced rapid growth in popular usage since the launch of its services. It was reported more than 12,500,000 concurrent Skype users were online. |

What is "Windows Easy Transfer"? |
|
| Windows Easy Transfer is a built-in function in Windows Vista OS which helps users to move files and settings stored on their computers running Windows 2000, Windows XP to a new computer running Windows Vista. It uses the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard included in Windows XP. The application is downloadable for Windows XP or Windows 2000. There are several methods that can be used: 1. Using a proprietary USB-to-USB bridge cable made by JEM called the Easy Transfer Cable. 2. Using CD/DVD, a USB flash drive or an external hard disk drive. 3. Over a wired or wireless network or using an Ethernet crossover cable. Basically Easy Transfer Cable will be the most efficient method for Windows Easy Transfer Cable.
