Can you name one? The ATA commands seem pretty clear on the matter,
and ISTM most of the reports of these issues came from before
Linux had write-barrier support.
I've yet to hear of a drive with the problem; though no doubt there
are some cheap RAID controllers somewhere that expect you to disable
the drive caches.
