If write caching is disabled (and confirmed to truly be disabled), it shoul=
d=20
not be needed. So as an added step beyond disabling write caching, it doesn=
't=20
feel particularly useful.

If write caching is still enabled, synchronous writes won't help except=20
perhaps to lower the statistical probability of running into problems (that=
's=20
just a guess).
