Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods having positionally aware communication between a controller and a plurality of solid state drives (SSD) over a multi-wire serial bus is described. An example electronic device includes a multi-wire serial bus, multiple SSD connectors coupled to the multi-wire serial bus, and a serial bus position address (BPos) line to uniquely identify the physical position of each SSD connector with a unique BPos identifier (ID). The device also includes a serial bus controller coupled to the multi-wire serial bus and further comprising circuitry configured to communicate with a specific SSD connector at a known physical position by associating the BPos ID of the specific SSD connector with the communication.
