Don't know whether it's really ATA write-caching, but my home workstation with SCSI drive never had a single case of corrupted FS (and I crash it a lot), when other ATA-based computers sometimes get 'unexpected soft updates inconsistency', and it's really killing the whole FS. Slowly (but sometimes instantly) and surely.
