Is filesystem indexing (e.g Gnome tracker-miner) affecting SSD?

I'm just curious if filesystem indexing (e.g. Gnome tracker-miner) is affecting SSD drives in a bad way.



Is it true, that Tracker-Miner should be deactivated when using a SSD drive?

  • As it stands, your question will be probably considered too broad - no way to tell if a program should be disabled. All write operations, including those of file indexing programs, cause SSD's wearing. What should be done depends on your SSD's technology and expected lifetime, it's typical usage - how much data is written per day, what kind of data (indexed/not indexed)... - and how long are you expecting your SSD to last.
