Windows 10 Pro hangs on shutdown

I don't know what system you are using, but on my Thinkpad Yoga with a custom fitted SanDisk ExtremePro SSD, turning

OFF Windows write-cache buffer flushing seemed to do the trick.

Search->Device Manager->Disk Drives->"Your Disk"->Properties->Policies->Tick both boxes.

Windows 10 Hot Swap SATA dock

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately it did not solve my problem.

On the Policies tab, I only have one check box - Enable write caching on the device which is unchecked. Beneath that check box as a daughter item is a greyed out empty check box for Turn off Windows write-cache buffer flushing on the device.

Am I supposed to be able to "Safely eject hardware" for what is essentially an internal drive since the connections for the HDD dock within the case go directly to the motherboard?

If not, what is the safe way to remove the HDD so that I don't lose data or get a corrupt drive?

 

The best writeup I've seen on this is here What's The Deal With Write-Cache Buffer Flushing? - Can You Get More Space Or Speed From Your SSD?

 

Thanks let me do some reading will update you
many thanks

 

No that did not really help still did not get a clear idea

 

If you go to Device Manager, expand Disk Drives, right click your SSD, select properties and select the Policies tab, you should be able to turn it off.

 

Yes i was Just searching my self and I just read that

But i am using the Intel rapid Storage ill just do it from there

if any one can tell me have they don this before or what are pros and cons

 

Ok so I keep reading about this and the Only thing i can see is if I get Power failure

So what will happen ? i lose my data I have a back up or do they mean that the ssd drive will not work anymore ?

i dont get it
