If the file really was updated and the Finder just didn't show you the update, the Finder's your problem. Not the drive. And it's a common problem. 'Happens to me all the time when I'm shuffling files around at the command-line.
The OS X Finder needs to be kicked sometimes in order to display the updated contents of a directory.
If it bugs you, there's a "refresh window" AppleScript floating around to take care of that... or you could log out and in again or relaunch the Finder.
