Browser cache and temporary files are really dangerous if I use SSD?

Hello!

Browser cache and temporary files are really dangerous if I use SSD? The cache files are small and very-very short-life, and exist a lot of them.

I have an SSD with TLC memory chips.

Thanks

Helló,

I have not tried but only know what I read.

No not dangerous. But maybe restrict cache on HDD to Zero.

Reason. You want to limit the wear by too many write operations.
That is how I read the technical info.
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-State-Drive German
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive English
Sorry the info does not seem to exist in Magyar language Wikipedia.
I tried to find. But found no result.

"SSD with TLC memory chips" AFAIK have a limited number of write operations.
Modern technology tries to make that all are used systemtically often and that not one is used more and one is used less - but You do not want them to wear any out soon by "fast small write operations". Or?

You may find better info in the specifications of Your system.

But I would switch caching on HDD OFF. Unless I was on a very slow ISP conection.

& Your telekom.hu does not sound any worse than my dip0.t-ipconnect.de = telekom.de. :O

Sok üdvözlettel from Germany

p.s. Sorry You caught me on a topic where I do not even know the English words.smiling smiley

And I only know the theory and not how many million/billion write operations Your system will do during a surf session - and what it takes to do damage.

Maby try to Google more info?
