I just read that, but isn't write caching on HDD's beneficial? IE, if you are trying to write a 700 meg file to disk, your HDD most likely can't come close to write at 700 megs a second, so it pages data to ram and writes as fast as it can. If it tried to write 700 megs directly to disk, it would increase HDD usage as it doesn't have anywhere to put the data waiting to be written and it increases IDE load. Or am I completely wrong, lol
