How many storage unit controllers?

Not sure I'm in the right department of forum here so pardon me if this is off topic.

Having recently upgraded various drivers I noticed that I have 4 storage unit controllers installed of which 3 are NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA controllers that appear to be identical. The 4th controller is JMicron JMB36X. Do I really need 3 NVIDIA controllers?

Ah dude that brings back happy memories. Striker extreme boards. 😄


The chipset is nVidea and that means that all the hard drive controllers will go via the nVidea controllers. You have nothing to worry about, simply ignore.
