Does the SATA controller of VBox support Native Command Queueing? And how can it be confirmed?

What would be the benefit / usecase for a VBox-internal SATA controller supporting NCQ?
Sorry, but I don't get it.
The vitual disk from a host point of view is just a big file.
VBox for the host is just a task reading blocks from his large file (the vdi).
So as long as the Host supports NCQ Vbox should benefit from that too....
What is it you want to achieve?

regards,
Martin
