Regarding the DC S3700 SSD capacitors + write cache

$

Hello,

 

I have a question about the capacitors in the DC S3700 and the DRAM cache. In the event of a power loss while write caching is enabled on the device, do _all_ of the cached/buffered writes make it to the NAND? Or, are the capacitors there to ensure that any active writes at the NAND are written atomically?

 

I was curious because depending on the answer, I'll turn write caching on or off in our server setup, or purchase the battery-backed option for our RAID card.

 

I don't see such information in the product data sheet, yet some press releases and reviews imply the first option to be the case.

 

Thank you!
