ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)
ata1.00: ATA-7: Hitachi HDS721616PLA380, P22OAB3A, max UDMA/133
ata1.00: 321672960 sectors, multi 0: LBA48 NCQ (depth 31/32)
ata1.00: configured for UDMA/133

I'm assuming the above indicates NCQ is enabled.

We'll try running the tests tomorrow with different i/o schedulers and
report back.
