hard drive - SSHD with Win8.1: Write caching necessary for performance improvements?

I bought a new laptop with a SSHD drive. I usually disable write caching on all my HDDs. Will disabling write caching prevent the SSHD from reaching its full potential?




I tried copying some folders with it enabled / disabled and didn't notice and improvement in performance, but then again, these folders where probably not in the SSD part of the SSHD anyway.



Is write caching recommended / necessary to make full use of my SSHD?
