If the bandwidth is inadequate at any point, you will see free buffer waits. If the bandwidth is lower at the operating system or hardware level than at the Oracle level, then you will see substantial write complete waits. Free buffer waits and write complete waits are opposite types of DBWn problem. Generally, the first indicates that the write bandwidth is too small, and the second indicates that Oracle internal write batch size (_db_block_write_batch) is too big.
In my view this is a problem with writing down to disk and is an OS I/O issue
