That brings back nightmares about removing IDE cables. You couldn't pull the cable itself because it could damage it, which meant pinching both sides. When you finally got it loose, your hand would slingshot out and you could cut yourself on the sharp edges that used to be in cases.

Sorry, but saying "USB got one data line in each direction" is false. USB 2.0 and lower only has D+ and D- as signal lines, but this is a differential pair. Meaning, that it basically carries the same information at the same direction at each time (half-duplex), but the signals are the inverse of each other to block outside interference. From USB 3.0, the cable got two more pairs for each direction (SuperSpeed tx/rx), but the old pair is still there to make your statement false and to confuse everyone.

3:33 explaining clock recovery encoding protocols like 8/10 might be relevant for future videos, as it helps viewers understand how high speed communication work without a dedicated shared system clock between components. Also useful for understanding why 1Gbit=100Mbyte. Other relevant topic: Could be interesting to also cover the actual pins on a cable, e.g. USB, Ethernet, SATA, and wtf they actually do, and cover differential signaling and how it reduces interference problems.

Great video! :) I would find it very interesting if you could do a Techquickie on computer component power consumption, particularly that of CPUs and GPUs and what constitutes it. What does the electricity actually do inside the components - what is it needed for? Also, the GTX 580 from around 7 years back and a modern GTX 1080 Ti both have similar power consumption yet the difference in performance is, of course, absolutely massive. Similar trends can be seen on CPUs as well. What has allowed these huge advancements in power efficiency and can we expect this trend to continue still as time passes on - is there still much that can be done to improve power efficiency? Where are the physical limits as to how low power consumption could be dropped in the future for a given level of performance (a certain amount of FLOPS)? Also, how are CPUs used on mobile devices and laptops able to achieve such low power consumption ratings despite still being fairly powerful? It would be very interesting to learn about these things! All the best to the whole team and thank you for making these videos. :)

thenoobcannon Well, I suppose a machine-gun is just a gun that operates by using mechanisms for reloading, ejecting, and whatnot instead of needing the input of a human every step of the way. And automatic is a general term I suppose, so he's not that incorrect. So long as it functions by itself without someone having to baby it every step of the way I suppose it's automatic, and if it does that with mechanisms, it's a machine. I dunno, though.

Hi Linus, can you do a video on the effects of vibrations on hdd including how concern should consumers be when buying a speaker system that includes sub-woofer for a desktop PC set-up? Thanks.

A lot of serial communication stuff is clock and data ( i2c , i2s, spi) and usb is NOT receive and transmit, but Data+ and DATA- , one wire is inverse of the other... same for other things.

love that you're giving some props to the legacy stuff~ next you'll be assembling an IBM486 ;) (hey, a girl can dream)

This brings back memories from when PC parts were more expensive, and repairing parts was more common rather than disposing of them, and delicately straightening those bent pins on drives, cables, and motherboards. Speaking of pins, I still have a large jar full of gold CPU pins that I used to extract from junked PCs. I should smelt that down into a gold bar sometime.

Parallel will catch up and out perform serial eventually. Sure crosstalk is a problem with ribbon cable but twisted pair advances along with proper shielding can offer more bandwidth along with TDMA style data synchronization and other transport level data timing matching technology.

I've used a similar example of the rate of fire of a shot gun and its dispersion of the shells loads to a automatic fire weapon, to explain some of the differences to people who don't really get the differences so easily.

great explanation. thanks.

Fun fact: You can get a PCIe x4, 8, 16, etc card working in an x1 slot by either sawing the extra pins off the card or cutting open the PCIe connector on the motherboard. I had to do this once, to get a video card to work in a PC that only had 1 x1 slot remaining. (The x16 slot was occupied by an HBA.) It worked reasonably well, although the drop in bandwidth/performance was apparent even at the Windows desktop.

this helped me out ..thank you

This was very well exolained

You didn't mention the speed of chipset meaning there was a limit to baud that each chip could interpret the data in serial. It was cheaper to put them in parallel and feed the more expensive CPU that way than to buy a chip fast enough to talk in serial at the same speed. It wasn't until these chipsets became more powerful and less expensive that serial was able to take over. It also helped that we were reaching limits with parallel speeds anyway due to the aforementioned crosstalk, etc.

the Traffic and Machine gun/ shot gun analogy, blew my mind lol.

Those bear icons are awesome, give my compliments to the guy who has designed them :)

Shoving that GPU in sideways at 3:30 gave me goose bumps

Good video man I like the machine gun explanation thank you

Fun fact: Australia's first computer, CSIRAC, used a serial bus for moving data around internally. This was back in the late 1940s, when 2000 valves and 1000 IPS was impressive.

The shotgun comparison was nice.

wow i learned a lot thx man

If only you had uploaded this yesterday. I had an exam on this today :(

haha liked the Shotgun/MG comparison ;)

Great video

What's crazy is that SCSI is STILL around. Granted, the switch from parallel to serial in 2004 probably played a big role in that.

I've noticed some network or server boards still have parallel ports on them (no I'm not talking about serial COM either).

ive had more microusb cables and sata drives(due too right angle connectors mostly) break on me that ive had issues with the pins on ide drives

i got a bad sata cable once, when i tried pulling it out one of the pins bent, but i bent it back and it worked fine

you took me back eons

That gun analogy is perhaps the most American way I have ever heard anyone explain serial and parallel.

2:56 im always bending my internal usb 3.0 connector and no other connectors lol? I plan on 3d printing some mounts to hold it better once its in because when it sometimes gets pulled or when bent out the way it comes off wonky and bends pins

@jesse-dg8yx

It should be noted that there are dual port SAS drives, which have multiple channels, whereas SATA only has one, so that's another part that kind of blurs the lines a little bit, like PCI

2:31 It is all about sending a message :D

Was genuinely thinking this video would be about parallel and serial wiring in circuitry.

i definitely don't miss the days when you had to pin the master/slave etc and when you had to type in all the volume information for a hard drive into the bios, Plug and Play all the way.

can you do this same video but about watercooling multiple gpus? serial vs parallel water flow?

so why does usb 3 and 3.1 usb more than 4 pins? are there moultiple serial sonnections like pcie?

So wait if these are so technically different how do ide to sata adapters works? Or does it use a dram chip to store the data and then convert it from serial to parallel?

Hello sir. Maybe you can help. Our old printer is 25pins male, pins number 9,10, 18 and 19. and the new printer is 36pins. Should I still use the 9,10, 18 and 19 pins in the new 36 pins interface? Will it function?

very nice explain :D to the last with your vpn tunnel: does it works on windows mobile 10 too? :D

I thought crosstalk was between a receiver and transmitter (side by side) wires. Cause the transmitter has much more signal in the beginning of the wire and after some distance (that the receiver's signal is not faided that much) had electrical interference with eachother.

a video talking about ipconfig ports would be great

I have a whole bucket load of what appears to be DB 37 Serial data storage cartridges (predecessor to USB thumb drive by the looks of it, to me at least) and I'm trying to figure out more about them. I have these because my Grandfather custom built a few barrel organs in his life time, usually barrel organs are analog instruments which use rolls of perforated paper to produce music, my Granps being the absolute 1980s-1990s tech wizard he was, completely rebuilt the guts of the organs, turning them digital. They read MIDI files off of these extremely obscure, dated 37 pin cartridges (I think serial DB 37), the cardriges themselves are totally black plastic, about 3x2x0.75 inches with right angle edges and corners, and absolutely no branding or text on the device other than the hand written labels of what songs are on each cartridge. Anyway, I inherited all this stuff and would love to figure out more about it all, I'd LOVE to be able to hook up some of these cartridges to modern hardware and see if I can write any custom music to be played on the organ. I'm an actual musician, which is why I inherited all of this, so it would be a blast to give some new life to my Grandad's old project.

And he didn't even talk about the USB 3.2 standard that add support for parallel datastreams, effectively transforming USB to UPB :o

USB does not have one data line in each direction. USB uses differential data signaling, this means that one data line can be mapped to 2 physical wires, one being D- and the other D+, so when one wire goes high voltage, the other goes low voltage. Differential signaling allow serial communications to be faster because they are able to send data with lower voltage swings without being affected by ambient noise. As for the clock it goes embedded in each data signal and is reconstructed by the receiver.

well 12 years ago was in 2005 and USB was basically already the standard and SATA was gaining popularity over IDE. That and with IDE there was always a chance that the pins would bend if you didn't pull the cable out exactly at 90° and it was a huge chore to bend them back. Which, although it usually doesn't require IT assistance, is still a pain in the ass.

you dont usually remove parallel ports as often. thats why most of the external parallel ports have screws and screwholes and the internal ones are, well internal and not plug and play. if you were to plug an IEEE 1284 connector into a port multiple times a day it would break in no time. but usually you don't actually remove or insert a plug a whole lot.

Useful!

Why does the Croostalk doesn't take effect with the gpu psi express lanes?

So a parallel killer is more likely to mess up than a serial killer? 😁

wow with this funny guy i really remember the work

Why couldn't the parallel standard be improved to allow for the pins to transfer data independently like in PCIe?
