Nope
No benefit
The higher functions actually make Raptors run slower. The AHCI system which includes NCQ which I DISABLE on my professional RAID cards because of how much perf it sucks from a hard drive
NCQ and AHCI is made for NETWORK computers.. not game systems where raw speed of the drive is needed

There are some folks who, when asked what time it is, will proceed to tell you how the watch works. Altho you *could*, you don't when unnecessary.
