Don't know whether it's really ATA write-caching, but my
home workstation with SCSI drive never had a single case
of corrupted FS (and I crash it a lot), when other ATA-based
computers sometimes get 'unexpected soft updates inconsistency',
and it's really killing the whole FS. Slowly (but sometimes
instantly) and surely.
