The problem is not data loss, it is loss of data integrity. This is why we 
have transactions in databases and filesystems: on a crash or loss of 
power, we want transactions to be either completely lost or completely 
saved, not in some in-between incomplete state.

There is no caching disk controller that knows how to ensure this.
