The Global Settings tab allows you to provide settings on write and read caches for all physical drives.
IMPORTANT:
“SATA Drive Settings” is not supported.
The write cache option is provided for HDDs and different from the cache on the disk array controller. For the setting of write cache for logical drives in battery installation, see the description of setting write cache for each logical drive in "3.6.5 Logical Drive."
It is recommended to set write cache for HDDs to [Disable] (no check). If you feel poor performance of HDDs, take proper measures for preventing instantaneous power interruption including use of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and set the write cache to [Enable] (checking).
Even if you change the following settings, they return to the default values after restarting the system.
-Enable Write Cache
-Enable Read Lock Ahead Cache
-Enable Command Queuing
-Enable Read Cache
