If you're speaking about the write cache, you can enable it or disabled in the device manager using the properties of the drive and the policy tab. And could someone change the word "buufer" from the topic's title into "buffer"? I can't change anymore Thank you. Maybe change it form "buufer" to "cache" ,. Looky here :. Yes, you're right.

But the drive letter is not reserved while a drive is not present and therefore reassigned to another drive if required. When this happens the former assignment is overwritten and the first drive gets the first available drive letter again even its former drive letter is available when it's being attached.
The former assignment just doesn't exist anymore. Network and substs drives are completely unconsidered by XP here. XP has no problem assigning a drive to letter which is currently used as network share! The Service Pack 3 fixed it too more or less.
This is fixed under Vista. To get persistent drive letters for external drives assign one exclusive letter per drive. The actual meaning of 'removable' is that the drive has a removable media, like floppy and ZIP drives or flash card readers. Even USB pen drives have no removable media they pretend to have by having the removable media bit RMB set in their hardware device descriptor.
Appearing as removable or local drive makes a difference under Windows. Here the differences for XP up to Windows Under Windows XP writing of lots of small files to a 'Removable' pen drive is extremely slow, while it's fast under Windows Writing large files there is no appreciable difference. The option "Enable write caching on the disk" is grayed out for USB drive this mean the hardware cache of the drive and the removal policy setting 'Optimize for quick removal' or 'Optimize for performance' doesn't seem to make any difference, except that the latter enables the user to format 'Removable' USB drives with NTFS.
And it indeed works! Furthermore NTFS stores small files together with the file information so they are written into the same flash block which is the best that can happen. In fact it is not as dramatically because Windows writes the data not immediately onto the media. It does it when it has to update something else there, when one hour is over on when a media is unmounted. The last access time is also updated on 'directory listing' whatever this means.
Using the Windows format dialog you can choose: Bytes is the defaut. With a cluster size above Bytes file compression and encryption become unavailable.
So, if the drive is a simple fake then the NTFS file system is written into non existent memory. Newer fake drives are made more clever, the first write accesses go to existing memory, so formatting with NTFS does not fail.
But as soon as more data then really build in is wriiten in sum, the problems begin. The effect of having a write cache or not depends on the USB drive: Hard drives have an Most USB flash have no such cache, so their access times are very important for their real live speed.
