Disk Cache Settings
When using I/O-heavy applications like Primavera, set the cache to writeback mode.
- none: Strikes the best balance between native performance and data safety by bypassing the host cache—making it the usual default for production systems and live migrations.
- writeback: Delivers top-tier speed by buffering changes in the host's RAM, but there's a real risk of losing data if the host crashes before syncing to disk.
- writethrough: Prioritises data integrity above all else by only acknowledging writes once they're on physical storage, though write speeds are painfully slow as a result.
A reboot is required after changing this setting
