Greetings.

 

I jusr ordered parts for my custom build. 1 of the parts is an SSD. I came across on a topic that Chrome shouldn't be installed on an ssd because of its constant writing to it. I googled it a bit more and half of the posts say that I should move the cache to an hdd and the other half says i should keep it and NOT move it. I would apreciate some help.

 

This probably won't help but:

Stupidest thing I've ever heard, ignore it. Consumer SSD's are designed to handle thousands of terabytes of read/write.

 

As well as this I've used Chrome on two different SSD's for over 2 years daily, both are at 100% health.
