My laptop also supports write barriers, but I leave the battery in place in
case there's a power outage; effectively it's operating as a UPS.
This might be slightly off-topic, but in choosing a SATA drive for a desktop

ensure that write barriers work? I know this involves flushing the drive
cache, but is this support mandatory in any of the applicable standards?
