Hello,
I have a very general question that doesn't exactly
relate to Haskell. Do I need to worry about hard drive thrashing with a
modern controller? I understand, that such "thrashing" can significantly
reduce the lifespan of modern SSD drives.
For example, if I
do:
import Control.Monad
foo = do
forever $ writeFile
"filename.foo" "Hello world!"
will that destroy those sectors of my SSD
after the rated 3000 write cycles?
The reason I ask, is that I have a
program here where I would like to save a set of files after every
change/operation and I'm wondering if I should check if the files I'm saving
have actually changed or if this will be handled by the OS...
Thank
you
Timothy
