Probably any run-off-the-mill SATA SSD in an USB enclosure can help you with that.
Certain (but very rare) USB flash drives with internal USB-SATA bridge and SATA SSD-on-chip can have write cache as well. These are the ones of faster and more expensive variety. Maybe in such cases, the caching may be disabled explicitly?
Thanks yes disabling the cache might be easiest.
USB MSC devices may implement write caching and require flushing on sync/close. Should investigate this:
Note this doesn't seem to be a problem for run-of-the-mill USB sticks. Probably no write-back cache.
