This is a fucking joke, unless you're a time traveller 100GB/day isn't going to wear out your SSDs. Most modern SSDs can easily hit petabytes, and this would be fine even if they could only hit a quarter of that.
1PB at 100GB a day would take 27 years.
- mortenjorck 10y agoThis is an interesting assertion. Can you cite it?
- coldcode 10y agoIt's sucking up your battery doing useless things. It's a bug they apparently missed or don't care about. It should be fixed.
- ryanlol 10y agoThe title was "Spotify wears out SSDs by writing 100GB/day", which is a ridiculous exaggeration. That's the only thing I was commenting on.
- minitech 10y agoIt may not wear out your drive, but it will waste power and take up CPU time and I/O bandwidth unnecessarily!
- imtringued 10y agoIt's obviously an unintentional bug and one that is easy to fix. Why do you say that it's fine that the bug wasn't fixed yet? Would you think the same if every desktop application wrote 100GB per day to your SSD?
