I also need the battery for smart arrays?
If you do not plan to use ZFS, which sort of nullifies the use of a
RAID controller, then yes. If you care for your data a BBU is
absolutely vital and will give you a noticeable performance boost.
I understand that BBU improves performance, but in what way does it
"care for your data - absolutely vital"?
My understanding is that in fact it does add some risk to your data if
RAID controller fails - bye bye write cache data!
The BBU will store your unwritten cached data in case of a power
failure and write it down after power has been restored. W/o BBU, you
would loose that data completely. Of course, if you don't use cache,
you also don't need the BBU ;-)
Sure, but BBU is not vital for data care. If you want performance, you
need BBU, but you can safely use write-through without BBU. BBU does not
improve the consistency of your data.
And if the RAID controller is broken, you have a big problem anyway,
no matter if you use caching or not ;-)
Sure, depends of the type of failure but I would prefer not to have much
data stage in it... ;)
Cheers
Eneko
