How does write-back caching work?

Can you explain how write-back caching works?

Sure! Write-back caching is a method where data is written to the cache first and then to the main storage later.

What are the advantages of using write-back caching?

The main advantages include improved performance and reduced write operations to the main storage, which can enhance speed.

Are there any risks associated with write-back caching?

Yes, one risk is data loss if the system crashes before the data is written back to the main storage.

How does it compare to write-through caching?

In write-through caching, data is written to both the cache and main storage simultaneously, which can be safer but slower.
