		+	=== Setting the Write Cache on a RAID Controller ===
		+
		+	For optimal system performance you should check the Default Write setting on your RAID controller. You can set Default Write to three settings: Write Back with BBU, Write Through and Always Write Back.
		+
		+	* Set Default Write to '''Write Back with BBU''' if you have installed a battery backup unit on your RAID controller. In the event of a system power loss, the battery backup unit preserves the content of the controller cache memory.
		+
		+	* In the event that the battery backup unit fails or goes offline to a re-learn cycle, the '''Write Back with BBU''' setting automatically fails back to '''Write Through''' mode. Without a working battery backup unit, the '''Write Through''' setting is safer, but it also brings a performance penalty on the I/O subsystem of the host device.
		+
		+	* If you need to remove the battery backup unit for repairs, you should explicitly set Default Write to '''Write Through''' mode and enable the cache explicitly (Disk Cache option). This should give you better but not optimal performance. When the faulty battery is replaced, you can safely return the Default Write setting to '''Write Back with BBU''' mode.
		+
		+	* If the host that houses your RAID controller is connected to an uninterruptible power supply unit, you can set Default Write to '''Always Write Back''' mode.
