As Jens mentioned, NCQ support requires both device and hardware have explicit NCQ support. That eliminates most of Linux's supported SATA controllers, none of which support NCQ.

Don't have a heart attack, though, SATA is pretty fast even without NCQ.


NVIDIA nForce4 supports NCQ under Windows.. any word on whether docs may become available to allow this to be supported under Linux? You'd think NVIDIA would want to get that support in..
