Microsoft Outlook?

[chrisdglong]

Outlook does a lot of saving to the primary disk. Would this be bad for an ssd?

No more destructive to an SSD than an HDD.

Well then that is good. I like using outlook and just noticed that it has a couple of areas on the ssd that is stores emails and rss feeds. Wanted to make sure before it became an issue.

Thanks for your quick reply.
