Looks good in general.

Two suggestions however:
1.) I find $(cmd) much better readable then `cmd`.
2.) I would be nice if the script by default at least *reports* all
    drives with the write-cache turned off. If a user tests both
    NetBSD and OpenBSD (or Linux, ...) with such a drive it is very
    likely that will not even know why NetBSD is slow and just
    assume that it is broken.

        Kind regards
