hi,

i couldnt find any solution to enable "write caching" on removable hard disk using USB, i know it's disable by default. i hope if i could get any solution from anybody here knows about that.

thank you.

p/s: no issue on performance or anything else, i just wanna know how to enable it. thank you for any responses.
 
Try right-clicking the drive in Explorer, selecting Policies tab, and selecting "Optimize for performance" (which enables write-caching). If this doesn't work, further discussion may be required.

Sloth is the mother of invention. Necessity is just a mother...
 
thanks for your reply, that was my first tried, doesnt work. the "enable write caching" button is there, after u confirm it by clicking the OK button, it should work but the button is "unchecked" instead of "checked" next time u view the properties again.

i done some work before asking, found lots of discussion but no solution for such.

anyone?
