For NCQ to work,it must be supported by BOTH the drive AND the controller.
It's getting easier to buy drives that support NCQ (NCQ enabled on drive),but
if the onboard controller does not support NCQ, then it will not work no matter
what hard drive you use. Make sure that you buy a motherboard that uses
controllers that support NCQ if you need that feature. The mfg's. web site should
be able to tell you if their board's controllers support NCQ. It's worth it if you want the
best possible performance,though!
