for those who need additional material to supplement what I provided in Chapter 2. Advanced PC Architecture covers many details that were beyond the scope of this book. I've also included Readings in Database Systems on my list. Although this book might seem out of place in the context of RAID, it provides a good introduction to many data structures, and I think that it can help readers to understand the interconnected relationships between applications, filesystems, operating systems, and hardware.

A note on the digital index

A link in an index entry is displayed as the section title in which that entry appears. Because some sections have multiple index markers, it is not unusual for an entry to have several links to the same section. Clicking on any link will take you directly to the place in the text in which the marker appears.
