A block-based storage system may implement dynamic durability adjustment for page cache write logging. A rate of incoming write requests for data volumes maintained at a storage node may be monitored. Based, at least in part, on the rate of incoming write requests, a dynamic modification to a durability property for a data volume may be made, such as enabling page cache write logging the data volume or disabling write logging for the data volume. When incoming write requests are received, a determination may be made as to whether page cache write logging for a particular data volume is enabled. For write requests with disabled page cache write logging, the page cache may be updated and the write request may be acknowledged without storing a log record describing the update in a page cache write log.
