Enabling and Disabling Queuing for a Unit
Some drives support NCQ (Native Command Queuing), which can result in
increased performance for applications that require a lot of random access of
data (usually server-type applications).
When enabled, NCQ can improve performance; it causes command
reordering to be done on the drive, itself.
In order to make use of NCQ, the feature must be enabled at both the drive
and the controller. You can enable support for NCQ in 3ware 9550SX and
9590SE controllers on a per-unit basis, as described below.
You can see whether NCQ is supported and enabled for a particular drive in
the Drive Details window. For details, see “Drive Details Window” on
page 92.
Note: Not all drives support NCQ. If a drive does not support
NCQ, the policy setting for the controller is ignored.
