Data loss Lol!
You really think it's an issue to use cache as a buffer before it get to disk?
This is nearly as bad as the write back cache argument.
Chances are if your writing a file and sudden power failure happens the data has
a) Already been written to disk
b) Has only written part of file so it's going to be corrupt anyway.
