write through cache

A caching technique in which the completion of a write request is not signaled until data is safely stored on non-volatile media.

Write performance with a write-through cache is approximately that of a non-cached system, but if the data written is also held in cache, subsequent read performance may be dramatically improved. See write back cache.
