    Which setup is the best to use and why. The first bench is without Write caching the second with write caching enabled. 2008-04-22_232303hdtune noncache.png

    Well clearly you should enable the write cache. You get significantly better performance that way. The downside to using the write cache is that you lose whatever data was in the cache in the advent of a power failure. A power failure which you shouldn't get in a laptop. Or am I misinterpreting the question is?

    Just thought non Write caching looked more consistent (stable). I was just curious of others opinions.
