PERC 5/i Adapter
• PERC 6/i Integrated, PERC 6/i Adapter,
PERC 6/E Adapter

• wc — Write-Caching sets the controller to
send a write-request completion signal only
after the data is written to the disk.
• nwc — No-Write-Caching specifies that the
controller does not send a write-request
completion signal after the data is written to
the disk.
• fwb — Force write-back caching, enables the
write cache regardless of whether the

not have a battery and force write-back
caching is used, data loss may occur in the
event of a power failure
