| Hard Drive | A device used to store data in a computer. | ||
| RAID System | RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a storage system resilient to disk failure through the use of multiple disks and by the use of software correction techniques. | ||
| Hub | A hub is a device that allows the connection of FireWire devices through a common terminal, instead of in daisy chain mode. A hub eliminates the daisy chain effect and allows uninterruptible "hot plugging" of all your FireWire devices. | ||
| Repeater | A FireWire repeater amplifies the firewire signal. The IEEE-1394 specification limits the distance for FireWire devices to 15 feet. A repeater is used to amplify the signals at every additional 15 feet incrementally up to 225 feet. | ||
| CD-ROM | A Compact Disk Read-Only Memory (CD-ROM) is a type of optical disk used to store large amounts of data. | ||
