Has anyone worked with any SCSI-2 tagged queueing drives?

I've seen that sales and spec sheets for the Imprimis 1.2gb
drive, but when I went to buy one, I was told that they
aren't ready yet.

I'd like to know if anyone has worked with real hardware
and has a feel as to whether one should still attempt
to optimize the order of i/o requests to such beasts or
not. In a perfect world, I would assume not, as only
the drive knows the optimal order of servicing, say,
a queue of 16 requests..
