No explicit "support" is necessary on the drive side. The only issue I can see is that these things return data so fast to the controller that the firmware may not be set up to handle that. That requires support for SSDs on the controller side instead.

Er, isn't that what I said? Levish's suggestion was that these drives should support specific controllers, not the other way around. If a specific controller can't use these drives, then they are not at fault, the controller card is.
