Aside from this performance perspective, in order to have a system that survives crashes and powerouts, better use: Disk (Write) Cache: disabled (is that Disk Cache Policy for writes, or read+writes?) Write Cache DISABLED if Bad BBU While turning off disk write caches costs some performance always, disabling the controller write cache if the bbu is dead makes the server only slower during bbu outages, but at least it will survive a crash then. It depends on your needs, but I don't know an admin with a +40TB storage that says "doesn't matter if it breaks, I'll restore from backup", as even with disk2disk backup that takes some time. -- mit freundlichen Grüssen, Michael Monnerie, Ing.
