A question occurs to me prompted by the way the Flack Health Check program
works. (And which I may also use for CD Health Check.)

In operations it relies on writing a tempory file, reading back its
contents, deleting the file, then repeating the process. The 'cycle' takes
somewhat less than a second per tempfile.

This is being written to an ext4 formatted SSD, but could, of course be to
other format/types of storage depending on the user's situation.

Given the bufferring which file systems use, do the files all actually get
written onto the SSD/HD? Or do they go to some kind of ram buffer and are
then deleted again before being actually written to the main part of the
SSD or HD?
