Vista - Re: Problem with Hyper-V, NCQ SATA drives; Event ID 129 from nvstor64 saying "Reset to device, \Device\RaidPort0, was issued".

GIYF.

First hit on: ST3320320AS firmware site:seagate.com

In general, firmware updates are only available directly from the OEM
involved. So, for the Seagate drives, you go to the Seagate site.

As for actual performance of the drive with and without NCQ - most of the
reviews I've seen so far haven't shown a significant benefit to NCQ
enablement in benchmark tests. Real world, of course, is not a benchmark, so
YMMV.
