Working with Read Cache Settings
The Read Cache unit policy lets you enable either Basic Read Caching or
Intelligent Read Caching. You can also disable the Read Cache unit policy, if
preferred.
By default, Read Cache is set to
Intelligent. You can change it to Basic or to
Disabled, as appropriate.
About the Read Cache Basic and Intelligent Modes
Basic Mode is used to store read cache data locally on the controller that has
recently been written to media and is likely to be frequently accessed. This
improves read access times for applications such as a database that can take
advantage of storage caching. The read cache may be disabled without
reducing performance for applications that are write intensive, or that rarely
read back data recently written.
Intelligent Mode enables the Intelligent Read Prefetch (IRP) feature.
The Intelligent Read Prefetch feature includes a typical read-ahead caching
method which is used to proactively retrieve data from media and store it
