Spotify for desktop: writes hundreds of gigabytes of data to the disk

If you use Spotify app to listen to music, it would be a good idea to temporarily change your habit and listen to your favorite music from the web or from a Spotify mobile app.

Several subscribers reported that its streaming apps s for Mac, Windows and Linux write hundreds of gigabytes of data every day to hard drives of users, even when the software is idle and is not supposed to save locally, according to Ars Technica.spotify

It's not clear why this is happening, but you should definitely avoid the Spotify desktop app for now, because the very common data on your hard drive can shorten its lifespan.

Even SSDs that do not have moving parts have a limited number of write-read cycles, and unnecessary Spotify recordings with tones of data can cause a decrease in performance.

Spotify with a statement at Ars Technica reported that it corrected the problem with the 1.0.42 version, which will soon be released if it is not already released for all users at the moment.
