you need to disable write caching for it to work. Just tried it with a SATA HD on my P4C800. Works flawlessy , even when completely removing the HD from the system (sata + power). Hardware devices manager ->

| Copy 700mb to the same HD with write cache: 0min27sec copy 700mb to the same HD without write cache: 2min30sec BUT if you start multiple operations on the HD with write cache , then eventually it will also show the 2min30sec for the file copy. Overall the write cache does improve the speed of the HD for general window usage, but for huge file transfers it does only show the first XXX Mb's before the cache is full and you revert to the "normal" speed. I don't think you're going to hot-swap a system drive?

| Problem is that about 500megs of that file is still cached waiting for a free time to actually copy it. Remove a drive at that time and yer screwed. (or crash for that matter) |
