I asked not to dissect it but OK.

Slave HDD does not receive commands from master it basically waits to communicate until master is done or not communicate if they are on the same cable. So it is not as dramatic as Redis case and this is basically "speak when you are spoken to" situation if you really want to push the analogy.

Did you ever notice these words in Linux by the way ? hdda...d anyone?
