Direct injection is where the pump has 4 direct individual outputs to each corresponding injector ...

Common rail pump has only one output.
It pumps fuel into a common chamber ( kind of like a tank on a air compressor) " rail" and then from there , there are 4 individual lines all at rail pressure to injectors. Injectors are then controlled and cracked electronically.

Crd pumps are way simpler and therefore a lot cheaper too than Di pumps.
