# DESCRIPTION

The `ahcisata` driver supports SATA controllers compliant with the Serial ATA Advanced Host Controller Interface Revision 1.0 or 1.1 specification, and provides the interface to the hardware for the ata(4) driver.

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 (piixide(4) for Intel AHCI controllers).
