I would not run an ext3 filesystem with data=writeback . noatime and
nodiratime provide a welcome boost by eliminating unneeded writes,
however writeback is not {powerfailure, system crash}-safe. If you
value your time (especially the time spent putting systems back up
after a system failure), you should use data=ordered.
