When set to Enable All, write cache is enabled on all disk drives on the
controller. (Enabling the write cache overrides any individual drive
settings in Adaptec Storage Manager.) When set to Disable All, write
cache is not used on the disk drives. When set to Drive Specific, write
cache is enabled/disabled on a per-drive basis in Adaptec Storage
Manager.
Caution—When write cache is enabled, there is a slight possibility of
