My System

You can turn it off for just the hard drive. Right Click on any hard drive and choose properties / hardware. Look down the list of drives until you see your drive. Click on it and select properties, another window will open. Select policies.
It should show you 2 options, optimize for quick removal and optimize for safe removal. Quick removal appears to slow down the writing of large files to disk but it writes eveything immeditely. The other option caches info going to the disk hence the requirement to force it to finish when aplying" safely remove this item" from the task bar.
