| Jan 19, 2012 at 0:00 | comment | added | White Phoenix | The question was not meant to be a discussion question. I was asking if Antivirus software cause additional reads/writes (and therefore shorten SSD life) due to their constant writes to log files on the system drive and why or why not. I was not asking for what Antivirus software to use to minimize this, I simply wanted to know if the constant changes to log files can shorten an SSD's life. I will make a new post with a more focused version of the question - my intent was not for it to be a discussion, but rather a "yes and here's why" or a "no and here's why" answer. Thanks. | |

| Jan 18, 2012 at 23:52 | comment | added | Robert Harvey | I read your question again, and I still don't know what you are asking. SuperUser is not a discussion forum; it is a Q&A site. You need to ask a question that can be answered, not merely discussed. | |
| Jan 18, 2012 at 23:50 | comment | added | White Phoenix | If you read my question, you'll see that I've taken several efforts on my part to prevent the degradation of my SSD and that I've taken an effort to make the question more focused - I specified that I'm concerned about the additional read/writes AVs have to their tendency to write to logs on the system (SSD) drive. I also requested a clarification on whether a 1 GB file write would have more or less wear and tear on my SSD vs several 1k file writes. The related question does not have the same type of focus as mines, nor do the answers in the related question. | |

Leave a comment explaining on your question that the answers on the duplicate are insufficient. If your question is truly not a duplicate, then you need to focus it more and help readers understand what your question is specifically. | |
