Eric- you listening in on this? Matt, Just in case Eric doesn't answer, I suspect if the HBA firmware can be upgraded (from Dell or LSI?) then WCE (write cache enable) in the caching mode page will be supported. It is one of the few mode page settings that is required to be implemented in SAT. The other field that should be changeable is DRA (disable read ahead). Both work on my LSI SAS HBA.
