Talking about disks has reminded me of something else.

In the not too distant past, some disks lied about having written data
to permanent storage instead of merely to some internal cache that
would be lost on a power failure.

Do any disks still lie about having committed data to permanent storage
or have we moved past that ?

Simon.
