White paper or kb for Windows IO?

Disk devices in Windows are often enabled for write caching.  It seems to me that no performance trick is worth the price of losing data.  I was looking for a recommendation from progress about disabling the write caching behavior for any disk that hosts a progress database.  But I cannot find it.  Any pointers would be appreciated.  There are other generic recommendations outside the context of OE, but I feel like progress should also be stating this formally as well: [View:https://serverfault.com/questions/940032/disc-write-cache-on-windows-domain-controller-always-disabled-by-default]

Taking it another step further, I'd really like to see a whitepaper about configuring storage for a database in a virtualized environment.   Here is a kb that makes a vague reference to write caching...  it seems like more elaboration would me helpful :
