Write-Through Cache - Dell POWERVAULT MD3620I Owner's Manual

Write-Through Cache

In write-through cache, data is written to the physical disk before completion
status is returned to the host operating system. Write-through cache is
considered more robust than write-back cache, since a power failure is less
likely to cause loss of data. The RAID controller automatically switches to
write-through if either cache mirroring is disabled or the battery is missing or
there is a fault condition.
