   Fro Win XP that is the recomended set up. For Vista and Win 7 using the   
   ACHI settting is recomended so the SATA Drive can use NCQ   
      
   NCQ   
   Web definitions   
      
       Native Command Queuing (NCQ) is a technology designed to increase   
       performance of SATA hard disks under certain conditions by allowing   
       the individual hard disk to internally optimize the order in which   
       received read and write commands are executed. ....
