SSDs and Sandboxie question!

Post by ratchet » Sat Sep 01, 2012 4:02 pm

I built a PC in May with only a SSD and have had zero issues that I'm aware of. Having said that, every tech forum you go to have questions like, "Is it alright to use "X" on/with a SSD?" So, anyh issues with Sandboxie and a SSD I should be aware of? Thank you!

Most questions that I've seen involve how to move the sandboxes off of the SSD drive, since media life is apparently an issue for those users.

No problem then! Supposedly I could do an astronomical amount (more than I would ever do in multiple months) of writes and wipes/day and it would last 10 years. Thank you!

I keep on the SSD only sandboxes of applications that I access regularly. There's no reason to waste space on the SSD to keep all the sandboxes. If you have a lot of games, then it would make sense to temporarily move the sandbox of a game you currently or frequently play to the SSD and after you're done with it, move it back to a HDD (or delete it).

We, (wife or visiting children) mostly only browse sandboxed but have a few programs like pdf reader to open sandboxed too. I have Sb set to delete the contents box when it's closed. Again, years of writes and wipes so I'm not sure how that affects it.
