Changing the write-cache mode on a physical drive

Use this action to change the write-cache mode setting of a ready physical drive. The write-cache mode determines if the physical drive stores data before or after sending a confirmation to the controller.

Attention: It is possible to lose data if a power outage occurs while using the write-back setting. Consider carefully whether to use the write-back setting on a physical drive. Depending on how you use the system, the write-back setting might be undesirable.

1. In the Physical devices view, click(ready physical drive).
   
   
2. Right-click Change write-cache mode to write back or write through.
   
   
3. Click Yes to confirm.
