dajibash Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Can someone tell me is uTorrent damages hard disk? I am using this software for years but no telling to my hard drive ( Macbook Pro ). But my friend told me it is. So I am confusing. And another issue is how about BT effects on SSD hard drive? No harm too? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 It has potential. It will eat the write-lifespan of an SSD a lot faster than most programs unless cache settings are set in a specific manner for SSD use.These problems happen across ALL bittorrent clients.

Firon Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Just leaving the Windows cache turned on should do the trick, honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajibash Posted June 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Can you teach me how to set the cache in OS system or give me a link? Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 I run 3.2 instead of 3.1.3, which has much better defaults for disk caching. I don't alter them anymore. Running on a 256GB SSD here.So that's my recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And after a little less then a year of running 3.2 on ocz vertex 3 disk overloads and I/O errors started poping up along with nice blue screen os crashes. And after a crash the SSD doesn't boot up. Only used ssd for os and torrents... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitsoran Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 SSD's tend to fail far before the available write cycles are burned up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
