USB mass storage and write caching

Hello,

I would like to use SATA/IDE->USB converters to more conveniently access hard 
drives. However I also want to run with write caching disabled.

Does anyone know if (1) I will be able to manipulate write caching through 
camcontrol as usual with USB mass storage devices, and (2) whether these 
SATA/IDE->USB converters typically propagate the write cache setting down to 
the drive?
