The assertion made in the subject of this thread is flat out not true.
Last but not least, the team addressed the SSD rumors and claimed that they were false.
“Completely wrong rumor which is repeated over and over although many 3rd party tests (as well as we) state that our solution does not perform read / write operations to the HDD (hence we have no negative impact on the lifetime of SSDs or any other hardware component).”
If your have any evidence to back up your claims to the contrary, provide it.
Otherwise, stop spreading old nonsense for which you have ZERO proof.
Well in my case I found that running the game drastically increased the mount of SSD bytes written. Over 2 years of use I had gotten to just over 6TB of usage. One playthrough of Inquisition and that figure went up to over 9.5TB.
On my second playthrough I kept the executable on my HDD, and deep linked the main chunk of the game onto my SSD so I'd still have fast loading times. It has now reached 10.5TB and I've just reached Skyhold on my 3rd playthrough.
Lucky I have a Samsung 830. not all drives are as hard wearing.

I believe there was a longer guide on SSD optimization but I can't seem to find it.Ahh i see, funny thing is I monitor my ram usage on the screen on my keyboard and it never went above 7GB. Now with the new patch it does fill right up but I'm not getting the massive amount of writes anymore.
