The S3700 does not need stuff like this. It internally ignores flushes.
Also there is an upstream one:

Seems that not all power protected SSDs are created equal:
http://lkcl.net/reports/ssd___analysis.html
<http://lkcl.net/reports/ssd_analysis.html>
The m500 is not tested but the m4 is.
Up to now it seems that only Intel seems to have done his homework.
In general they *seem* to be the most reliable SSD provider.
Even at that, there has been some concern on the list (and lkml)
that certain older Intel drives without super-capacitors are
ignoring ATA_CMD_FLUSH, making them very fast (which I like!) but
potentially dangerous (boo!). The 520 in particular is a drive I've
used for a lot of Ceph performance testing but I'm afraid that if
it's not properly handling CMD FLUSH requests, it may not be
indicative of the performance folks would see on other drives that do.
On the third hand, if drives with supercaps like the Intel DC S3700
can safely ignore CMD_FLUSH and maintain high performance (even when
there are a lot of O_DSYNC calls, ala the journal), that potentially
makes them even more attractive (and that drive already has
relatively high sequential write performance and high write endurance).
Cheers,
Robert van Leeuwen
