5.2.8 Enabling WriteCache
You may manually enable the RAID controller’s WriteCache option after creating a
RAID set to improve the data transmission performance.
When you enable WriteCache, you may lose data when a power interruption occurs
while transmitting or exchanging data among the drives.
The WriteCache function is recommended for RAID 1 and RAID 10 sets.
To enable WriteCache

adapter, and then press <Enter> to display the adapter properties.
2. Select Disk WC, and then press <Enter> to turn on the option.
5. When finished, press any key to continue.
3. From the Management Menu, select Objects > Virtual Drive, select an
existing adapter and press <Enter>. Select View/Update Parameters and
press <Enter> to display the adapter properties.
