I have a RAID5 array running off an Adaptec 5405 controller (I'll make another post with details). The controller has write-cache settings for the individual physical drives, and the logical volume. Then you have a write-cache setting for the formatted partition/drive as windows sees it.

I currently have write-cache enabled on the 4 physucal drives and the logical drive in the controller, but disabled on the volume in windows. The controller will be battery backed up via the add-on module, and the computer itself is on a 1500VA UPS

My 2 other standalone drives have write-cache enabled in windows.

I'm wondering if I should enabled write-cache in windows given I have a UPS and will have controller dedicated battery as well. Will there be any performance increase given the RAID setup?
