Hard disk NCQ problem

Q: Recently to upgrade the hard drive, see a lot about the Seagate 7200.9 series of hard drives, which is a bit confusing, is not the series support NCQ technology, motherboards need to set up to support the new hard drive, NCQ technology needs what level of the motherboard?

A: The interface for SATA 7200.9 hard disk is to support the NCQ function, NCQ is a major new feature of SATA hard disk, but if you want to give full play to the NCQ function, only hard disk support is not, but also the corresponding hard disk controller (bridge chip in the disk controller) support just line. For example, Intel supports NCQ technology from the ich7r South Bridge of the i945 chipset, and Nvidia is starting to support NCQ technology from the NForce4 SLI chipset. The motherboard also needs some appropriate settings to support NCQ functionality. Go to the motherboard BIOS and find
"Integrated peripherals→onchip serial ATA Device" to see if there is a "AHCI" option here. To support the NCQ feature, the SATA in the BIOS
Mode "should be set to" AHCI ".
