AHCISATA(4)

📦 version 11.0, in nixpkgs unstable

ahcisata(4) 💅✨ — from the Kernel Interfaces Manual, bestie 🫶

NAME 🎀

ahcisata — the driver for SATA controllers that are compliant with AHCI 1.0 and 1.1. It's giving “host controller interface realness,” no cap. 💖

SYNOPSIS 🌸

ahcisata* at pci? dev ? function ? flags 0x0000

DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so the ahcisata driver supports SATA controllers that comply with the Serial ATA Advanced Host Controller Interface Revision 1.0 or 1.1 specification. It provides the interface to the hardware for the ata(4) driver. Literally the hardware hookup bestie. 🔥

The ahcisata driver will only attach if the controller has been put in AHCI mode by the BIOS. If the controller is in pciide-compatible mode, it will be handled by the appropriate driver — and yes, that's piixide(4) for Intel AHCI controllers. 💅

Vibe check 💀: no AHCI mode from the BIOS, no attach. That's the rule, fr fr. If it's chilling in pciide-compatible mode, it's not this driver's main character moment — the right driver takes over. 🫶
