Just a quick sata question, save me spending ages looking it up.

Does Sata 1/sata 150 support native command queueing or would i need a sata 2/sata 300 card to take advantage of this in my drives?

Thanks
 
Jeez. Try looking at google? I just googled and found this:

"This command queueing feature was actually present in the first version of SATA, but it seems that many of the drives and controllers didn’t add the feature until SATA-II"

You need to calm down. I wasn't exactly asking for much was I?
I spend a fair amount of time on here helping people out so when i need a minor query answering such as this i don't think thats too much to ask eh?
I tried Wikipedia and i tried the sata website, maybe i didn't enter the exact right query into google, the forums are for asking questions aren't they?

its relating to disk drives.
guys in there tend to be more relevent and also would be less likly to flame as that area gets less trafic than here.


just like that!

Sata 1 supports it

as does sata 2

normally it says "NCQ" in the harddrive specification if it does...

I know my disks support it, i had just forgotten if it was part of sata 1 or introduced in sata 2 as i need a controller that supports it.
Apart from the speed, is there anything different about sata 2?

Edit: hang on... its implimented in the disk isnt it, so the controller doesn't matter. I'm getting mixed up with tagged command queuing which does need to be implimented in the controller.
