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.)
