   Caches cannot increase overall transfer bandwidth, they can only reduce   
   latency. Which we don’t care about, because OS filesystem cache flushing   
   is a batch-type operation anyway.   
      
   Which is why having these drives lie about when their writes have   
   completed is such a dumb idea.
