 Disk caching | Disk Caching isn't supported for disks 4 TB and larger. If multiple disks are attached to your VM, each disk that is smaller than 4 TB will support caching. Changing the cache setting of an Azure disk detaches and re-attaches the target disk. If it's the operating system disk, the VM is restarted. Stop all applications/services that might be affected by this disruption before changing the disk cache setting. Not following those recommendations could lead to data corruption.
