    The biggest disk writer in my Firefox is script, installing noscript just decreased the total writes from something like 2GB/h to 500MB/h. Interesting than in Microsoft Edge using script it dont write too much to disk, with script enabled in Edge it write same amount of Firefox with script disabled.

    Hi there
    OK it's a good idea to minimize I/O wherever possible - but that's not specific to SSD's.

    SSD's can actually endure far more WRITES than Spinners these days -- It's amazing how some idea that was possibly valid for some (but not all) ist gen SSD's - several years and a few development cycles ago still persists to this day.

    SSD's are generally more robust and can outlast spinners these days -- some data centres are even using the large ones (too expensive currently for mere mortals like us) for reliability and service and they aren't reporting problems with switching from fast enterprise grade SCSI Spinners to SSD's.

    Cheers
