 Western Digital's Caviar SE16 hard drive - The Tech Report - Page 1
The fact that Intel's vanilla ICH7 south bridge doesn't support NCQ is also cited as a justification for the SE16's lack of command queuing support, although it's odd that Western Digital would use a mainstream south bridge spec to determine features for its "highest performance" desktop drive.
Command queuing can improve drive efficiency and potentially performance by intelligently reordering I/O requests to reduce rotational latency, but Western Digital claims that adding NCQ to the SE16 would hurt sequential read and write performance.
The drive also features a beefy 16MB cache and a stealthy all-black aesthetic that's unlike any other hard drive on the market.

 Western Digital's Caviar RE2 hard drive - The Tech Report - Page 1
However, the enterprise environments that the Caviar RE2 is designed to tackle are generally defined by multi-user loads and more random I/O profiles that stand to benefit from NCQ's ability to intelligently re-order I/O requests.
Both drives spin at 7,200RPM and have 16MB of cache, although the similarities really end there.
According to Western Digital's specs, the RE2 is also a little louder.
