I have not tried FlushFileBuffers() yet, so I just tried it now,  I am

disk management and STILL have the same results.   I am now thinking this
is some caching being done on the SSD that is ignoring FlushFileBuffers()
Probably a 'feature' designed to help extend the life of the SSD, but
making it useless to store data that needs to survive a power failure.


Can you turn off the drive write cache in device manager? You'll have to
double click on the ssd and look around in there.
