I don’t feel anxious about things like that. If I did I would find the large files on my Mac, check if I have multiple identical copies of any of them, then cp -c to make new copies. But disk space is cheap so mainly I wouldn’t worry about it. The -c flag is MacOS specific and I don’t use a Mac.
- amichail 2y agoThe anxiety pertains to the excess wear on the SSD caused by writing more data.
- gregjor 2y agoI don’t think that’s worth worrying about. No amount of worry will extend the life of the SSD. But you can backup your files to cloud storage or an external drive so if the SSD does wear out you don’t lose anything important.
