I don't follow. The problem is not writes but reads. And if the reads are random enough no cache controller will help.
The specific example Tom was running was, in his words, "100% disk write bound". I was commenting on why I thought that was on his system and why it wasn't representative of the larger problem. You need at least a basic amount of write caching for this situation before the problem moves to being read seek bound.
