Thumb drive wear and tearSubmitted by opticsnake on October 31, 2007 - 3:44pm
I was wondering if anyone had done any research into the wear that applications like firefox would have on a flash drive. I know that these drives have a write limit so I'm just wondering how often a web-browser would write to the drive since it's caching the temporary internet files on the drive itself. ( categories: )

Please Search
A search would point you to multiple topics addressing this. Firefox Portable's cache is disabled by default. It uses RAM for cache.
Live with purpose.
It depends
It depends on how you set up Firefox. If you set it up correctly (disable cache, closed tabs, session manager...), then it will have no writes on the disk, having no wear.
I haven't done any researches, but I'm pretty sure of who knows how to set up his apps will have his drive for a long, long time.
Photoshop? No… I use GIMP. No, It's not pirate. No, I didn't pay for it. It is possible! Because it's free. Yes, free! Ok! Stay with your pirated Photoshop!!! Idiot…
