- I've used Stacker 3.0 and NCache, with write caching turned ON, for nearly
- two months without problems. I run NDD /QUICK on all my drives, and the
- Stacker CHECK program on Stacked drives, each time I reboot, and these
- have virtually never (except for a programming crash) reported any bad
- sectors or other problems. (I use the NCache from Norton Utilities 6.01.)
