Which connector type was historically used for connecting high-speed hard disks, optical drives, and scanners, primarily in server and workstation environments?
SATA
USB
HDMI
SCSI
The correct answer is SCSI, which stands for Small Computer System Interface. This interface standard was used extensively for connecting various types of devices such as hard drives, scanners, and CD/DVD drives, especially in server and professional workstation setups. Over time, it has largely been superseded by newer technologies like SATA and USB for personal computer use, but the knowledge of SCSI remains important for the A+ certification as it represents a foundational technology in computer architecture. Other listed connector types such as SATA, HDMI, and USB are incorrect because they serve different purposes: SATA is dominantly used for connecting internal drives in consumer PCs, HDMI is mainly for audio and video connections, and USB is a universal port for many types of peripherals.
