    Hi, I just received my G1s and i was messing around with vista and I read from tweakvista.com that "enabling write cache" under the hard drive policy in device manager improves hard drive performance. The problem is that I can't enable it and says "This device does not allow its write cache setting to be modified". So I was wondering if its that hard drive incompatible with this setting? Anyone else have the same thing or gotten it to work?

    btw my system is the stock g1s.
