Now that's interesting.... Might need to give that a go.arfur said:I dont know how to turn it off on Intel but I have on my Nforce one, and it made about 15-20Mb/s difference. I think the NCQ gets a bit confused when its trying to arrange more than 1 disk. I also noticed that my CPU overhead dropped a lot as well when it was turned off, it works a treat on single disks though,
