How to improve hard drive write speed with write-back caching.
Is there a KDE disk utility tool.
openSUSE Leap 42.1
If there is a tool in 42.1, I can’t see any reeason to expect a KDE tool, but Yast is the place where you’d expect it to be.
Before we get there, however, we should be sure that you have done your research in to the disadvantages of this approach.
I cannot find a tool like gnome-disk-utility under KDE to enable cache writing.
Already searched within Yast.
No GUI utilities
command line
hdparm -W /dev/sda
To see if it is on May well be as default
hdparm -W1 /dev/sda
to turn on
hdparm -W0 /dev/sda
turn off
Warning
Not all system’s belong to the same “turn-on write-back caching”
recommendation group as write-back caching caries a risk of data loss in
the event such as power failure etc. In the event of power failure,
data residing in the hard drive’s cache do not get a chance to be stored
and a lost. This fact is especially important for database system. In
order to disable write-back caching set write-caching to 0:
Ok thanks.
