Cache Fast Write reduces cache utilisation in HDS and IBM controllers.
In HDS a normal write has a second copy in Global cache until it is destaged

Howard,
IIRC the IBM-MAIN archives would probably have the answer. This question

Hi Mark,
You and everyone else would find it useful to have Gilbert's excellent
