Windows Vista Performance Tip: Enable Write Caching

On my PCs write caching wasn’t enabled by default for my system disk. Turn it on in the device manager (Right click “Computer”, choose “Properties,” choose “Device Manager” from the sidebar, expand the disk drives category, right click your drive, choose “Properties,” pick the “Policies” tab):

I don’t suggest enabling this for removable media, as it pretty much guarantees data loss if you remove the device without stopping it first.
