HDD write cache

[Wojciech Puchar]

after reading quite recent topics about disabling/enabling write cache, i 
tried to test in on desktop 3.5" drive

kern.cam.ada.write_cache: 1
kern.cam.ada.read_ahead: 1
kern.cam.ada.0.read_ahead: -1
kern.cam.ada.0.write_cache: -1

i tried writing 1 or 0 to kern.cam.ada.0.write_cache, and there were 
exactly no differences at all, and disk seems to do always write caching.

Does that drive lie and ignore commands or i do it wrong?

this is my disk.
