In general, you should _never_ set this value. You have basically told
the system that this device is power safe and never requires a
synchronize cache command. This is not true for most devices and a
poorly timed panic will result in data loss on the one device whose
purpose is to protect its data: the slog.

Note, when I generally talk about an SSD being power safe, that does not
mean that this can be set to true. The devices generally only guarantee
that data is safe after a synchronize cache command.

I don't have as much experience with these Toshiba drives, so it may be
that their datasheet tells you something else in this case.
