A related question:
Is it sufficient to disable write cache only on the disk where pg_xlog
is located? Or should write cache be disabled on both disks?

Thanks

The standard advice in this area is to put pg_xlog on a separate
spindle; although that probably is only important for update-intensive
applications.  You did not tell us anything about your application...
