" NVIDIA Driver name: *sata_nv* Summary: No TCQ/NCQ in early chipsets. NCQ support added in later chipsets. Looks like a PATA controller, but with full SATA control including hotplug and PM. *Update:* NVIDIA has provided information (under NDA) that permits implementation of NCQ support, and a sample Linux implementation (patch) as well. Unfortunately, the patch needs debugging, and no one seems to have the time or motivation. *NOTE:* Newer NVIDIA chipsets are AHCI , and use the ahci driver rather than the sata_nv driver. " There have been changes since you wrote the above. ADMA has been incorporated mainstream for a while now and SWNCQ is now in -mm. AHCI support is obvious. Best regards, Zoltán Böszörményi
