ssd has limited number of write operations, while node_modules writes many many files to the disk.
And as mentioned in the article you repeatedly remove and recreate it to fix “problems”
- lolc 6y agoEven with write amplification a node_modules is not typically going to cause more than a few gigabytes write load. So with max TBW being somewhere in the hundreds of terabytes for current SSD, we're looking at hundreds of thousand node_module rewrites before the drive gives. Unless you're rewriting your node_modules every other minute on an old SSD I recommend finding something else to worry about.
