Hey I did find something. Maybe this will help anybody who is looking.
Device Manager, go to the properties for the SATA controller. If the checkbox for NCQ is enabled, the drive supports it and it is enabled. According to Seagate, NCQ is enabled in the drive from the factory.
For the record, mine is on and automatically checked. I'm running the Seagates in a new file server (about 30 clients) and it blows away the old file server which had SCSI 160, about 8 10k & 15k drives (various generations) -- although for fairness, it was an old system with dual 350MHz P2's, so the bus, memory and CPU limitations probably bottlenecked the drives.
Big Bruin, thanks for the article and the comparison. Very helpful. Are you going to test those drives out in a RAID 0 comparison soon? I'd like to read that for both the Hitachi's and the Seagates.
