whomever think there's a big advantage to use SATAII over SATAI is smoking some good stuff, NCQ is overrated as well.....I've been switching those options back and forth on my Hitachi T7K250 and see absolutely no gain whatsoever, that's probably one of the main reason why DFI didn't even bother to implement SATAII into this Xfire board, didn't Anand wrote a review regarding SATAII and NCQ features as well?
