SATA Controller
19.1
The serial ATA controller is a high-performance SATA solution incorporating some of the latest SATA-IO
extensions. The SATA may also be referred to as a host bus adapter (HBA). The SATA controller is
designed to operate in a system that supports command queuing and, in particular, a switching scheme
based on a frame information structure (FIS) using port multipliers.
FIS-based switching requires the SATA controller to maintain in hardware a context for each command it
has queued at the devices that are attached to it. FIS-based switching also requires the SATA controller to
maintain a queue per attached device ensuring that the command issue order for each device is maintained.
It can be used in SATA controllers, as well as storage area network (SAN), network attached storage
(NAS), and RAID (redundant array of independent/inexpensive disks) devices.
SATA controller has the following features:
