if hdparm -i doesn't work though, these might not work. I've googled for ages and I can't find any other way of telling if write caching is on or off - sorry!
A thought. I don't know if it will work, but there's a Gnome utility called "Disk" in my version of ubuntu 's menu (don't know the package name) that may give you info on the disk if you select it in the list of disks down the left hand side. Alternatively, if you have a system info program installed, or install one, that may tell you if write caching is on.
