Hi all: While we are discussing HDD and SATA, it may be a good idea to dip a bit into NCQ as well.
NCQ is 'Native Command Queuing'. NCQ is a technique to optimize SATA disk performance by optimizing the order in which received read and write commands are executed. Most disk vendors sell the feature by calling their disk as SATA-II. Please the discussion at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCQ thanks Saifi.
