- tedunangst 10y agoFortunately disk space, unlike memory, is infinite.
- cmdrfred 10y agoI'd much rather you use 21GB on my SSD than 2.1GB of my ram.
- loeg 10y agoHm. On some machines I only have 8x the SSD as RAM. I might take the 2.1GB to 21GB trade in that case :-).
- coldtea 10y agoThen don't use Chrome on those machines?
- tedunangst 10y agoIt's usually easier to reclaim RAM than storage. Which application am I not using right now? vs What data will I never need again?
- NicoJuicy 10y agoPrevious versions of chrome...
- witty_username 10y ago21 GB is about 2% of a 1 TB drive. Not that ridiculous.
- danudey 10y agoA lot of our lapops at work (the majority, in fact) have ~240GB SSDs, so that's about 10% of their disks. Not insignificant.
