    Have you tried turning write cache off competely? Surely SSDs dont need it.

    Not yet. I have read conflicting information on it. I will try it for a week or two at some point. I am (amazingly) still working on my build so have it on the test bench still. When I set up as my main machine I will try it and see what happens. I don't think I will see a difference with my SSD.

    Hello Jaxel, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    Sorry, but you cannot. It is dependant on what your hard drive supports on the available options. You can still turn write-caching on or off with those options though.

    Great! My HDD was already set up to enable Write-Caching.

    Thank you for this easy-to-follow tutorial, Brink.

    Found this little snippet of information regarding SSD.

    "SATA drives can have NCQ (native command queueing) to increase performance by reordering I/O requests. If your SATA SSD supports it, then I expect there will be less benefit for smart caching by the OS, since the SSD is already trying to be clever."

    This could be a good starting point whether to recommend write caching or not on SSD.
