I've got a SATA disc that I access through a slide-in bay - i.e.
It can be removed from the bay through the front of the PC.
It's a backup disc and I rotate a half-dozen discs through that
bay day-after-day.
I'd like to set the drive/bay so that there is no caching and the
drive can just be removed without going through the USB "Remove"
dialog (which isn't available anyhow for this device).
But in My Computer | {disc} | Properties | Hardware | {disc} |
Properties | Policies, "Write caching and Safe Removal" is
totally grayed-out/disabled. viz: http://tinyurl.com/47mg96w
Is there a way around this? Or is maybe some magic going on
with the removable bay that there is no need to disable caching
and the UI is just a little confused?
