Which expansion matches the acronym eSATA?

• A. External Serial Advanced Technology Attachment
• B. File Transfer Protocol
• C. Gigabit
• D. General Data Protection Regulations

Answer: (A)

eSATA stands for External Serial Advanced Technology Attachment. It refers to the external version of the Serial ATA interface used to connect external storage devices like hard drives and SSDs, preserving the serial transfer method but in an external cable/enclosure form. The other terms are unrelated: File Transfer Protocol is a network protocol for moving files, Gigabit is a speed measure, and General Data Protection Regulations is a privacy law (GDPR). This is why the expansion matches External Serial Advanced Technology Attachment.
