How to Enable Write Caching for Hard Disk Drive
You should also make sure that your hard disk has write caching enabled. Write caching means that Windows OS doesn’t flush changed data to the disk until the system is idle, which improves performance.
1. Press the
keys to open Run, then type devmgmt.msc in the search box. This will open Device Manager.
2. Open the Disk Drives branch.
3. Double-click your hard disk to display its property sheet.
4. In the Policies tab, make sure that the Enable Write Caching on the Device check box is activated.
5. For maximum performance, activate the Turn Off Windows Write-Cache Buffer Flushing on the Device check box. (Note that this option is available only with certain hard drives that support it.)
6. Click OK button.
Activating the Turn Off Windows Write-Cache Buffer Flushing on the Device option tells Windows OS to use an even more aggressive write-caching algorithm. However, an unscheduled power shutdown means you will almost certainly lose some data. Activate this option only if your system is running off an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
