    Native Command Queuing - Wikipedia

    In computing, Native Command Queuing (NCQ) is an extension of the Serial ATA protocol allowing hard disk drives to internally optimize the order in which received read and write commands are executed. This can reduce the amount of unnecessary drive head movement, resulting in increased … See more

    Native Command Queuing was preceded by Parallel ATA's version of Tagged Command Queuing (TCQ). ATA's attempt at integrating TCQ was constrained by the requirement that ATA host… See more

    NCQ is also used in newer solid-state drives where the drive encounters latency on the host, rather than the other way around. For example, Intel's X25-E Extreme solid-state … See more

    Some of the advantages of using NCQ supported hard drives are: Improved endurance of the hard drive due to less mechanical wear Higher performance when utilizing multiple command workloads Will I notice a big performance increase when using a NCQ supported hard drive?
    Without NCQ, the drive would process and complete each command one at a time in the order in which it was received. NCQ Benefits: NCQ is a feature that is designed into the Serial ATA interface. To take advantage of NCQ, both the host controller/chipset and hard drive need to support the feature.
    It only report your harddisk support NCQ or not, regardless the other requirement. Requirements: A chipset that supports SATA AHCI & NCQ. A SATA drive that supports AHCI & NCQ. AHCI is enabled in BIOS. An OS installed while AHCI is enabled. Your system may not boot if it was installed in IDE emulation mode.
    Native Command Queuing is enabled at the firmware level of the hard drive and cannot be altered by the end user, which means you have support as long as all the other requirements are met. If all requirements are not met, NCQ will not be utilized.
