On a Mac, in what circumstances does write caching apply, an

I run Mac systems mostly these days; but never investigated the write caching... Perhaps this info from Apple-land may be of help? http://tinyurl.com/y24dq6yt

Thanks for your reply, trvlr, but the article is about content caching, which as far as I can make out is a quite different thing from write caching. Any more for the skylark?

I did a couple of other google trawls, using these two strings: what is write caching? is write cache flushed when shutting down? The majority of hits refer of course to windows - currently win-1o inevitably. perhaps repeat my trawls an have read even though most (all?) are windows related? They do contain useful info and also some solid warnings... And via another trawl - not specific to this post I found this: http://osxdaily.com/2012/04/10/shut... which includes reference to cache flushing when shutting down (or not) an Mac system. Personally I think it's flushed on shut down; unless there is an option to disallow it?.
