Line 7:
* Back-end interface communicates with controlled disks. Hence protocol is usually [[Advanced Technology Attachment|ATA]] (a.k.a. PATA; incorrectly called IDE), [[Serial ATA|SATA]], [[SCSI]], [[Fibre Channel|FC]] or [[Serial Attached SCSI|SAS]].
* Front-end interface communicates with a computer's [[host adapter]] (HBA, Host Bus Adapter) and uses:
** one of ATA, SATA, SCSI, FC; these are popular protocols used by disks, so by using one of them a controller may transparently [[emulator|emulate]] a disk for a computer
** somewhat less popular protocol dedicated for a specific solution: [[FICON]]/[[ESCON]], [[iSCSI]], [[HyperSCSI]], [[ATA over Ethernet]] or [[InfiniBand]]
