Re: [w3c/IndexedDB] SSD wear: does it sound like a real risk? (Issue #511)

ell1e left a comment (w3c/IndexedDB#511)

One additional concern here, it seems like an entire IndexedDB instance for one site could easily remain in-memory, hence the browser could decide to buffer all writes in memory and only occasionally write to disk. However, the OPFS storage limit is so large that this is impossible and writes just need to go always to disk if you really push it. This in my opinion increases the danger for abusing it to damage hardware via SSD writes (rather than just, as you probably correctly say is a minor issue, do a denial of service by slowing the browser down).
