Hi,

Current controller mode is RAID. You can switch to HBA mode and disable cache in controller settings at the BIOS

All ceph-disks are configured non-raid, which is equivalent to JBOD mode or pass-through. These controllers have no cache options, if your do, disable all of them. Mode should be write-through.
