If you do not specify this parameter, the cmdlet sets the value of the WriteCacheSizeDefault property from the storage pool. -- 2. The default setting of WriteCacheSizeDefault for a storage pool is Auto, which specifies that Windows Server® 2012 R2 automatically selects the optimal write-back cache size for your configuration. You can change the value of WriteCacheSizeDefault to a concrete value at any time. -- 3. The Auto setting for WriteCacheSize functions as follows: a. If any of the following is true, Auto is set to 1 GB: i. The storage pool contains at least N drives with enough capacity and you set the Usage parameter to Journal. (N = 1 for simple spaces, N = 2 for two-way mirror and single parity, N = 3 for three-way mirror and dual parity) ii. The storage pool contains at least N drives with enough capacity and the media type of the virtual disk is set to SSD (N = 1 for simple spaces, N = 2 for two-way mirror and single parity, N = 3 for three-way mirror and dual parity) b. Otherwise, Auto is set to 0 (no log) for simple and mirror spaces, and 32 MB for parity spaces. -- 4. If you specify Auto or 0 (zero) for this parameter and the storage space is not a parity space, the cmdlet verifies that either 3.a.i or 3.a.ii is true. If either 3.a.i or 3.a.ii is not true, you cannot set WriteCacheSize to Auto or 0. a. The objective of these conditions is to help you avoid scenarios in which you force the creation of a write-back cache in situations that result in slower performance.</maml:para></maml:description><command:parameterValue required="true" variableLength="false">UInt64</command:parameterValue></command:parameter><command:parameter required="true" variableLength="false" globbing="false" pipelineInput="false" position="named" aliases="VirtualDiskFriendlyName"><maml:name>FriendlyName</maml:name><maml:description><maml:para>Specifies the friendly name for the virtual disk.
