There is manual, programmatic and start-up control of write cache on
SATA drives already available.
There is no drive-agnostic (i.e. for all types of drives) control that
covers all three ways of cache control - that was shifted into a lower
priority item than other sata development stuff. It will be done
eventaully...

I suppose if you know
the disk only contains zfs slices then write caching could be

When will we have write cache control over ATA/SATA drives? :-).
A method of controlling write cache independent of drive
type, color or flavor is being developed.... I'll ping
the responsible parties (bcc'd).
