Write-caching
I have all my external drives set to "quick removal" option, so I don't have to use the "safe-removal" option.
On my internal drives, I have it set to "Enable write caching." It says that a power outage could cause data loss. Since I always use the "sleep" option, is this option safe? ![]() Thanks, Paul |

Write caching Ok, so my hard drive in ACHI mode does not allow me to enable write caching but in compatibility mode it does. Should I enable write caching? Also this whole thing about memory loss is bugging me on what they are talking about. I have a laptop with a battery and mostly has power. But what if... |
