Write Cache

What is Write Cache & how to set up?

All Samsung Solid State Drives have a write cache.

Write cache is volatile memory that allows the SSD to improve write performance by sending write requests from the OS to a queue, allowing writes to happen later rather than making the OS wait for the write to complete.

1. Run Control Panel > System > Device Manager.

2. In the Disk Drive menu, click Properties of the SSD.

3. In the "Policy" tab, check "Enable write caching on the device (W)".

This procedure is already described in the OS optimization methods section of the manual, but it is mentioned here again for those who are specifically interested in Write Cache
