Read-ahead Advance read access to the memory takes place.
No read-ahead No advance read access to the memory takes place.
Adaptive When most of the last read accesses to successive sectors have taken place the controller switches to Read-ahead. When the read accesses have been distributed it switches back to No read-ahead.
Write-back The controller sends a signal to the server when the data has been written to the controller's cache.
Write-through The controller sends a signal to the server only when the data has been written to the disk.
Adaptive When this setting is chosen and a charged BBU is connected the same procedure is followed as described under Write-back, otherwise the controller behaves as for Write-through.
Adaptive Write-back This display appears when Adaptive is selected and the controller currently handles the write requests as described under Write-back. After a BBU failure the controller automatically switches to Write-through.
Adaptive Write-through This display appears when Adaptive is selected and the controller currently handles the write requests as described under Write-through. When a charged BBU is available again the controller automatically switches back to Write-back.
