Full Summary:

Because of the number of interfaces and related technologies that are used for storage devices, we have compiled this summary document providing some basic information for each of the interfaces.

The interfaces listed here are known as “block” interfaces, meaning that they provide an interface for “block” reads and writes. They simply provide a conduit for blocks of data to be read and written, without regard to file systems, file names or any other knowledge of the data in the blocks. The host requesting the block access provides a starting address and number of blocks to read or write.
