Anyone enabled NCQ on a Hitachi Deskstar 250GB SATA-II?

I'd like to know how you got on and if there's much point is using NCQ at all..

I'm pleased with the drive.. I'll be even happier if they never break (I've bought another for backups and transfering all my music to lossless!)

On a side note.. I think I installed the SATA / IDE controller drivers that came with nForce4 Ultra.. even though at the time they said they're not certified. I seem to recall reading that this wasn't recommended(?) If I update the SATA driver through device manager, would this fix any issues I may have/get?

ok thanks, i might use it, haven't decided yet. a few months ago I only had 16gb.. now I've got x2 250gb! I guess I should be happy with that

I enabled SATA2 using the feature tool, however I've no idea how I enable NCQ, even to try it out. I can't see an option in the SATA controller in device manager for NCQ - everything is greyed out anyway. Could someone point me in the right direction please?

Should I perhaps reinstall nForce drivers?
