This message is from the T13 list server.
It seems NCQ is to be part of ATA8, and will need a lot of discussions to be standardized by T13, but can somebody already bring me the information: Is there any hardware requirement for Native Command Queuing support on SATA 1.0 controller ? or can this be managed by pure firmware ? (Is it possible to use a NCQ capable drive, labelled SATA I or SATA II in PC world, with a standard SATA I hardware controller just by adding firmware)
