I want to save SSD write cycles and will use intel HDD
I bought my first SSD in 2009. It was my system drive for around 10 years.
When I retired it as my system drive, it still had 90% remaining of its service life.
You don’t need to worry about saving write cycles.
SATA SSDs last a long time, yes.
I’d imagine OP is actually talking about NVMe though, which does NOT - or at least not on the scale of old SSDs.
I have put more than a couple NVMes in the ewaste bin over the last few years.
We buy and use them for the performance though - and I for one want the web to feel snappy, so while it could be read/write heavy, no way I’d be moving the cache off my fastest disk.
you mean SATA has more life ?
Oddly, the data seems to disagree. That was always my impression though. Could simply be that NVMe TBW values have caught up in the last few years, as they are a LOT higher now than I remember then being ~6-8 years ago.
For stuff like cache (tiny small files frequently read and written to) that’s the ideal thing to store on an SSD over an HDD.
in about:config
set browser.cache.disk.parent_directory to a HDD folder
Transfer and symlink it?
nice idea,
on a related topic, creating symlink is tedious, is there a way to “move to d disk as symlink folder” to make it easier
Not sure whats easier than
ln -s …
