If I understand the use of a write cache correctly, everything that gets
written passes through the cache and it will eventually and probably rather
quickly write all its data to the drive in question and thus empty itself.
Correct? If yes, how quickly? (probably microseconds?)
Does the completion of the write make the drive safe to remove or is there
another step in the process?
What's the difference between a buffer and a cache? Does a cache suffer
overflow and underflow problems like a buffer?
