Moving to an Outlook PST export, NCQ proves to have little impact on the Maxtor drive's performance. However, the Barracuda's performance improves by an impressive 12% with a VirtualDub import as our second task.

Our final tests involve and Outlook PST import, and here we see some of our biggest performance gains. Note the DiamondMax drive's huge performance jump in the file copy test, where NCQ improves performance by an incredible 32%.
