Hi Marco,
There is no option to enable write cache via the PERC 5i/R controller
or Bios. From bios, i could only select the perfornance of the HDD as
in "Bypass, Quiet, Suggested and Performance".
I've seen this before. For some stupid reason you cannot enable the
write cache from the BIOS. What a collegue did is use a linux live CD
with a management program from LSI to enable it. After that all was
OK.
I use LSI FiberChannel cards at work and have seen similar issues where
a parameter can't be changed via the BIOS interface. I ended up making a
FreeDOS boot CD so I could use the LSI management tool for things that
weren't available from the BIOS.
