    Yes mate it took some at times drastic things to be done but nice to be back posting again but seeing that I am now finally retired just another job on the VERY long list of want and need to do's that I never had time for before. Trouble is it took a broken leg to make me see the writing on the wall

    What if you have several portable hard drives that you only connect from time to time, and your computer has three USB ports and it's completely random which HD you plug into which port? Surely the computer doesn't remember my 5 portable drives and 3 USB sticks X 3 ports = 24 combinations, and each one's write caching setting -? Does Win 7 keep caching disabled, or enabled, by default? I want it disabled for all my external sources.

    Hello catalogue,

    Usually, write caching is disabled by default for removable media. You can double check to make sure though.

    If your system is at high risk for power losses or sudden shut downs, then it would probably be best to disable write caching for the HDD to avoid the potential of data loss.

    If not, then you could gain some performance by leaving it enabled.
    My apologies if this was already asked.

    Could a "system freeze" or a "hard hang" forcing the user to do a "hard restart" be considered a sudden shut down?

    If so, I will disable while troubleshooting the root of the problem.

    Hello Wyatt,

    Yes. Those would be considered a sudden shut down as well.
