Hello,

Every time server restarts with Event Viewer message:

"Driver disabled the write cache on device HDxx"

What does it mean?

Regards,
Vladimir

Hi Vladimir,

The message means that the "Write Cache Enabled" Feature has been deactivated for the
hard disk (device "HDxx"). When disk caching is disabled, loss of data is avoided
when events occur that prevent your computer from shutting down properly (like a
power failure). For more information see the following Microsoft Knowledge Base
Article:
