PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methods that present coupling of a storage controller (104) to a plurality of different storage device types (110, 111, 112).SOLUTION: One embodiment of a storage controller includes an interface (301) operable to communicatively couple to a storage device. The storage controller also includes a processor (502) operable to select between hardware protocol detection of the storage device and firmware protocol detection of the storage device, and to detect a protocol of the storage device when the storage device communicatively couples to the interface according to the selected protocol detection. The storage controller then selects a protocol to process input/output requests from a host (105) on the basis of the detected protocol of the storage device. |
