Its worth checking - isn't it ?
I appeciate that you may have performed such tests previously - but as
hardware and software evolve its often worth repeating such tests (goes
away to do the suggested one tonight).
Note that I am not trying to argue away the issue about write caching -
it *has* to increase the risk of database corruption following a power
failure, however if your backups are regular and reliable this may be a
risk worth taking to achieve acceptable performance at a low price.
