ATA. Short for Advanced Technology Attachment, ATA was approved May 12, 1994 and is an interface that connects hard drives, CD-ROM drives, and other drives. The first ATA interface is now commonly referred to as PATA, which is short for Parallel AT Attachment after the introduction of SATA.TA-4, ATAPI-4, and ATA/ATAPI-4. ATA-4 is a standard approved by ANSI in 1998 under document NCITS 317-1998.
The current average student loan debt for graduates from a four year college or university stands at $26,600. That figure can rise significantly for students attending a private, for-profit college or university. These are students who have received a Bachelorâs or baccalaureate degree.
