Advanced Host Controller Interface
The Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) is a hardware mechanism that allows software to communicate with Serial ATA devices such as host bus adapters which are designed to offer features not offered by Parallel ATA controllers besides higher speeds, like hot-plugging and native command queuing. The specification details a system memory structure for computer hardware vendors, in order to transfer data between system memory and the device.
