This feature assures SLC-performance for writes to the WriteBooster buffer.
So enabling it is advantageous as far as write performance.

As for the toggling functionality, compared to e.g. enabling it on init and leave it on,
some flash vendors require it because of device health considerations.
This is not the case for us, so let others to comment.
