Quick Sata question...

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?

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?

also this would SO be better in the hard drives section.

Why, its about storage controllers?

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.
