The SATA RAID controller can support up to SATA ll, which runs
up to 300MB/s, twice as fast as SATA150. NCQ is a command
protocol in Serial ATA that can only be implemented on na-
tive Serial ATA hard drives. It allows multiple commands to be
outstanding within a drive at the same time. Drives that support
NCQ have an internal queue where outstanding commands can
be dynamically rescheduled or re-ordered, along with the neces-
sary tracking mechanisms for outstanding and completed por-
tions of the workload. The SATA RAID controller allows the user
to choose the SATA Mode: SATA150, SATA150+NCQ, SATA300,
SATA300+NCQ.
