"It appears there might be a data corruption problem when enabling TCQ on the nForce 4 chipset at least with the Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe."

TCQ is what allows the hard drive to reorders data streams to limit the amount of horizontal movement of the head, dramatically reducing the time to read/write multiple blocks of data.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, TCQ stands for Tagged Command Queuing.
