3.2.2.1 SATA NCQ Support
The controller supports both SAS and SATA disk drives. The
NCQ allows SATA multiple commands to be outstanding within
a drive at the same time. Drives that support NCQ have an
internal queue where outstanding commands can be dynamically
rescheduled or re-ordered, along with the necessary tracking
mechanisms for outstanding and completed portions of the
workload. The SAS host adapter allows the user to select the
SATA NCQ support: “Enabled” or “Disabled”.
3.2.2.2 SMART Status Polling
A SATA HDD “SMART Status Polling” function was added to
enable scanning of all SATA HDDs SMART information function
on the device driver. It is necessary to enable “SMART Status
Polling” function before the selected SATA drive SMART
information is accessible. This function is used to control the
ability of the device driver function. It is disabled by default.
