Enable write caching on disk

Hi All, I have a peer to peer network and just added a new secondary HD on my Dimension 8200 I use as the server. I also added a new secondary WD250GB JB drive on my workstation Dimension 4550.

My question is should Write caching be enabled on both of these disks or one or none? I read some on Google and the HW tab says there may be a loss of data if it is enabled. But, I thought that was one of the benefits of the WDJB drives with 8MB of cache. Or maybe I'm confusing two different things? I would prefer speed, but not at the risk of losing data. Thanks, Pat

P.S. Anybody know how to fix that stupid front usb door cover. It flopped open when I was changing the drive on the 8200 and now it won't close! The guy that designed the door and USB ports should go back to ergonomics 101!

Question about Firefox
Yes. It will prompt you when you open it the first time. You can also leave IE as the default browser and still use Firefox. Firefox will also prompt...
