Will seeding torrents from a StoreMI drive generate many writes to the ssd?
Will it reduce the lifetime of the ssd by much?
Depends how much data you share. A large shared library will produce a constant pressure on the tiering to swap in new data, and therefore lots of writes.
That’s not the biggest problem, though. Due to the high number of reads, the longer you torrent - and the larger the volume of data you share - the more of your fast tier data will be blocks from those files. This means less Windows, application or game data on fast tier, going against the purpose of the tiered storage.
Since latency is largely irrelevant for torrented files - or media files in general, unless you’re editing video - you’d be better off having them on a separate non-tiered HDD.
Thanks for your answer. I will look for another solution to 100% diskload when seeding.
