Yes, it forces writeback even when the controller has no BBU. Choosing
WBack itself will default back to WThru. It's dangerous, but I guess it
should be much less dangerous than using for example softupdates. We
have little choice until our order of BBUs get here, since the
performance degradation of wthru would make it unusable for us.

Solved my issue with LSI 8480E without BBU. With "write: BadBBU",

from 20MB/s.
I don't know what "BadBBU" is, but from some Googling it seems to be a
setting that overrides BBU detection, and enables write caching even if
the system believes BBU is broken or missing. If true, this may be
dangerous for data consistency.
