Jim,
I just found out myself that the default value of hw.ata.wc=0.
As root edit the /boot/default/loader.conf file and add
hw.ata.wc="1" . Then the value will be set at each boot.  As long
as the value is "0" my machine is a "dog".

to verify the setting after a boot, issue:   sysctl -a | grep ata
