18 Razer processes with loads of writing to my disks. Is this normal? | Razer Insider

HI all:

 

So I’m running Synapse 4 beta Version 4.0.33.44. There’s at least 18 processes running in task manager with loads of data being written to my SSDs.

Is this normal?!

I thought Synapse 4 was supposed to _reduce_ the amount of memory, writing, and processes running on computers.

 

 

No representatives from Razer have any comments on this?

Same issue here without beta, over 20GB of write and delete after leaving my laptop on for a week, can’t be good for SSDs...

I’ve sort of come up with a work around.

 

I have a RAM DISK installed on my laptop since it has more than enough memory.

Within my ram disk “R:”, I’ve created a “Razer” subfolder.

Running the following commands, I’ve rerouted most of the processes that write data to the RAM disk now instead of my SSDs. Obviously alter the paths as appropriate for your set up:

 

  • mklink /d "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Razer\RazerAppEngine\User Data\Logs" "R:\Razer"

  • mklink /d "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Razer\RazerAppEngine\User Data\Default\Cache" "R:\Razer"

  • mklink /d "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Razer\RazerAppEngine\User Data\Default\Code Cache" "R:\Razer"

  • mklink /d "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Razer\RazerAppEngine\User Data\Default\GPUCache" "R:\Razer"

  • mklink /d "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Razer\RazerAppEngine\User Data\Default\Service Worker\CacheStorage" "R:\Razer"

  • mklink /d "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Razer\RazerAppEngine\User Data\Default\Service Worker\ScriptCache" "R:\Razer"

 

As of right now, here’s the stats on the files in the ram disk folder. That’s saving a lot of writing to the SSD:
