How would I know if my system is using NCQ? I think my drives and card should support it.
Get the controller make/model and look it up, then get the drives make/model and look it up. If they both support NCQ then you should be good.
While your there get the sustained data transfer rate, total read seek time (includes rotational latency) and total write seek time.

I can get all that data, but can I actually test it somehow? Does linux know anything about NCQ, or is everything abstracted to the controller?
