The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Well, I wouldn't try that tweak, don't know what it is and don't know it will actually do to a SATA drive.
    If your drive is in IDE mode, you could try switching it to AHCI, and see if NCQ helps in anyway.
