Write-Caching - Enable or Disable

I just wanted to add that I have had problem with Western Digital External HD (book looking one) and Patriot USB flash memory. While both claim to work with Windows 7, they do not unless properly configured. My WD hard drive kept disconnecting every couple seconds with numerous AutoPlay windows poping up. Then Windows claimed it would perform better if plugged in into USB2.0 port even though it was plugged into USB2.0. Same goes for Patriot USB memory. After hours of troubleshooting, reinstalling drivers. I narrow it down to these Policies check boxes. I mean I reinstalled drivers. I looked into USB power settings, I reinstalled USB drivers, even reinstalled windows. So if you have frequent disconnects or slow speeds with your external device, these two policies settings are the option to look into first.

Helllo Orgasmatron, and welcome to Seven Forums.

It's usually best to have write-caching enabled for better performance.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

It shouldn't, but you can always disable it if it does.

It no problem at all. You can do it from either location. It doesn't matter. :)

You're most welcome. :)
