The driver presents itself to the OS as a SCSI HBA, even though the drives are SATA. In fact, it might actually be using a SCSI IC, but firmware-restricted to only connect to SATA drives. In any case, the OS is going to try to use TCQ, and either the driver or the firmware is going to translate those queued commands into NCQ. You don't need to change anything. -Alan
