Concluding Remarks
Well, after exploring the methods of how Native Command Queuing is more efficient over the outdated Legacy Command Queuing and how these two technologies work, we took a look at the real world application of this technology. Seagate was generous enough to supply us with a drive to test it out. I am happy to say that there is some, albeit small, performance boost while using the NCQ technology over the LCQ technology. While most motherboards still do not support this technology, all Intel 900 series chipset based motherboards do support this technology. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like this technology will make itself available on AMD motherboards for a while to come. Currently, I cannot find a price for the Seagate 7200.7 NCQ enabled Serial ATA hard drive, but when it becomes available, its purchase is a step towards implementing the technologies of today and tomorrow.
