Native Command Queuing
Native Command Queuing (NCQ) is a technology designed to increase performance of SATA hard disk drives
by allowing the individual hard disk to internally optimize the order in which received read and write
commands are executed. This can reduce the amount of unnecessary going back-and-forth on the drive's
heads, resulting in increased performance for workloads where multiple simultaneous read/write requests
are outstanding, most often occurring in server or storage-type applications. Without NCQ the drive has to
process and complete one command at a time. For NCQ to be enabled, it must be supported and turned on
in the controller and in the hard drive itself.
NOTE:
Please see the SATA Hard Drive QuickSpecs for specific SATA hard drive capacities that support NCQ:
