HistoryIn history, the storage interface controller is usually integrated in southbridge. AMD Zen 1 archirecture (2017) and Intel Rocket Lake archirecture (2021) had integrated the M.2 storage interface controller in CPU.[2][3] VariantsFloppy disk controllerIn 1990s PCs, the floppy disk controller is usually integrated in super I/O chip. IDE controllerIn older PCs, the IDE controller is usually integrated in southbridge.[4] SCSI controllerIn older workstations and servers used as a high-end alternative to consumer-grade IDE hard disk drives. Gave way to Serial Attached SCSI (SAS). AHCI controllerThe AHCI controller is usually integrated in southbridge.[5] M.2 controllerThe M.2 controller is usually integrated in SoC, CPU, or southbridge. RAID controllerThe RAID controller is usually found on more advanced computers such as servers. See alsoReferences
