A technician installing hard drives into a computer needs to set jumpers on the drives to master and slave. Which of the following types of drives is the technician installing?

USB drives are hot-plug devices that use a plug-and-play enumeration protocol; they have no jumpers or master/slave configuration.

SATA uses a dedicated point-to-point serial connection with one drive per port, eliminating the need for master/slave jumper settings entirely.

EIDE/PATA drives share a single ribbon cable between up to two drives per channel; jumpers on each drive physically set it as master (primary) or slave (secondary), telling the controller which drive takes priority - this jumper-based master/slave scheme is a defining characteristic of the EIDE standard.

SCSI devices use a numeric SCSI ID (0-15) set via jumpers or switches to distinguish devices on the bus, but the terminology used is SCSI ID, not master and slave.
