Spotify, a ssd vampire

One of the latest reports suggests that Spotify is a "vampire" on the SSD. Surely you know Spotify, the popular streaming music app that allows us to enjoy the best music with an incredible interface. We can use it both from the PC and on the smartphone, but this time, the news goes to computers with SSDs because Spotify could be a complete danger.

Be careful with Spotify, it attacks the SSD that gives pleasure

Be careful if you have SSD and Spotify installed on your computer, because you could see how the performance of your PC is weak and unexplained. Some users of the music service experienced hundreds of GB of Spotify data, with reported amounts of scary writing (1TB or more).

As you know, SSDs have a limited amount of writing, so this error could do a lot of harm to users who have SSD on their computers.

But why does this happen? Everything indicates that Spotify what it is doing is writing the database, so if you have a loaded library, you might notice that your SSD is not going well. This occurs when Spotify is idle and does not store songs locally.

Many users, as we read on Reddit, witnessed that Spotify was writing 10 GB every 40 seconds. Crazy! Faced with this hardcore news, users were looking for an explanation from Spotify… the good news is that they did not take long to have a response and the good news.

Good news, the bug has been fixed

The guys from the streaming music service have stated that the bug has been fixed in Spotify version 1.0.42. This update is coming soon to all users.

If you have Spotify, SSD and have noticed something strange, now you know the real reason. Do not worry, because it has been solved. As soon as the version is available, we recommend that you delete it, clean the app remnants (the garbage) well with a cleaning app and install Spotify from scratch, almost worth losing those 10 minutes.
