<p>A system and a method presented in the present specification are provided to couple a storage controller (104) to a plurality of different storage device types (110, 111, 112). An embodiment of the 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) based on the detected protocol of the storage device.</p> |
