As per usual, there is a wiki page for that. I imagine they will all be targetting NVMe controllers at this point, I can't see SATA improving much.

I didn't realise Sandforce, the company whose buggy controllers caused so much trouble in the early days of SSDs, were bought up by Seagate, the company whose hard drives have fallen apart so badly on me over the years. Seems a good match :D
