'recording' to nvme SSD Overwatch

[Walt]

Hi everyone,

In the new overwatch client you can save your replays and 'record' them to a mp4 file. I've read that recording to a SSD is a bad idea but is that also the problem with a nvme SSD? And if so is there a way in overwatch that let you record the files to somewhere else?

Thanks!

EDIT: 
I found the solution:

 

1) Make sure Overwatch is closed.
2) Open your Settings_v0.ini file, located in Documents\Overwatch\Settings
3) Find the [MovieExport.1] section.
4) Add a line for VideoPath = "<insert new path here>" and provide a path. For example: VideoPath = "C:\Users\yourusername\Desktop"
5) Save and close the file.

I don't know that recording to an SSD is "bad" per se.  Perhaps if your SSD is small and space is a concern.   All of the conversations regarding SSDs being bad for recording that I have seen are referencing older SSD tech.
