Please log in for more thread options shown to use the SATA 2.5 rev. specification. I am looking for an SATA II drive with NCQ that will work with my nForce4 motherboard that supports SATA II and NCQ. This is the drive I am talking about: http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=101541 Anyone know whether the SATA 2.5 spec will work with the 9NPA nForce 4 Ultra motherboard? I already have a DiamondMax 10 connected and am looking to buy another drive to back it up on when needed. | |||||||||||||

From the press release about "SATA 2.5 standard": http://www.serialata.org/docs/SATA_Rev2.5_Spec.pdf "August 23, 2005 Serial ATA International Organization (SATA-IO), the consortium dedicated to sustaining the quality, integrity and dissemination of SATA technology, today announced the completion of the SATA Revision 2.5 specification. SATA Revision 2.5 is a consolidated, integrated spec that includes the 3Gb/s feature, as well as other features like Native Command Queuing (NCQ), Staggered Spin-up, Hot Plug, Port Multiplier and eSATA. It also incorporates resolutions to all errata accumulated to-date." In other words, to further confuse their bungled handling of the SATA spec to date, they decided to release another revision of their spec (and collect fees from people who need to download the spec). The feature list in that press release is not suggestive that anything has been added. I would continue to concentrate on the feature list, as provided by the manufacturer. So if NCQ is mentioned, or 3.0Gbit/sec I/O, those are your features for better or worse. Nforce 4 Tech Specs - Only mentions 3Gbit/sec I/O: http://www.nvidia.com/page/pg_20041015990644.html NCQ is mentioned here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_16449.html ==> which returns the file...
