AHCI
(Advanced Host Controller Interface)
The Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) is a technical standard that defines the operation of SATA host controllers. It enables features like hot-swapping and native command queuing (NCQ), which improve the performance and flexibility of SATA devices.
AHCI is supported by most modern operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS. It is particularly beneficial for SSDs, as it allows them to achieve their full performance potential. According to a 2022 report by TechInsights, over 80% of PCs shipped in 2022 support AHCI.
