My only concern about his performance theory that latency is ok as long as the bandwidth is still maximized is input devices.  With a Tablet for example the bandwidth requirement is low but latency (or lack of) is important.

I was also looking at Tag Command Queing (TCQ) and SATA related NCQ for hard drives.

Does Server 2003 support TCQ or something akin to it during  management of Raid 5 or does the kernel leave all of this to disk controller hardware?

I ask the question because a number of motherboards manufacturers Ausus for one have implemented Raid 5 but have ignored TCQ I guess because the intended market is workstation. However Abit have implemented NCQ without featuring raid on a server board.

Should the kernel glue these two together somehow?

Another reason for asking this is one of vision - perhaps in the future distributed computing may become an everyday occasion. In this scenario workstation hard drive access begins to mimic that of a server in that jobs may be running from many diverse sources giving TCQ a role to play.
