I have read this statement multiple times now, but I am still puzzled by
the disabling write cache statement. What is wrong with having a (BBU
based) write cache in front of the SSDs / how does it decrease the
perfomance?

As far as I can tell, this is just another buffer/cache that is added in
the write chain and thus should improve speed for small writes. For
write bursts / longer writes the cache will not play a role anymore.

What am I missing?
