Best Raptor config?

[sabregen]

I'm running 2x 80GB Raptors (Dell OEM) in a RAID-0 on an ASUS A8R32-MVP Deluxe, on ports 3&4 (for OC'ing purposes). The question is, I know that I can disabled Tagged command queueing, and other features in the volume properties under the device manager. How should I be configuring these options for best performance? Here's what I have so far:

Burst of 279.3MB/sec
Avg Read of 179.4MB/sec
CPU usage of 2%
TCQ enabled
ULi M5288 w/latest controller drivers from Nvidia website (2.10 IIRC)
RAID-0 block size of 64k
WinXP Pro 32-bit

Suggestions welcome, any responses appreciated.

I don't get any performance difference whether it's on or off. I'd just run HD Tach and confirm if one way works better than the other and run it that way, unless seat of the pants feel changes for some reason.

The impact of command queuing is unlikely to be visible in HDTach.
It has been suggested (see Storagereview) that tagged/ native command queuing is detrimental to single user performance.

Yeah, I concur... TCQ or NCQ isn't helpful in the least. Best disable it, as I believe it runs a bit of a processor overhead too.

I've read the same, and should've noted I do leave it disabled.
