According to Cointelegraph, Consensys, the blockchain company responsible for MetaMask, has announced that it will soon release a solution for a significant issue affecting its MetaMask browser extension. Users have reported that the extension has been writing excessive amounts of data to their solid-state drives (SSDs), potentially reducing their lifespan. A spokesperson from Consensys confirmed the unusually high disk activity impacting certain MetaMask users. The problem was highlighted by a user known as ripper31337, who reported on GitHub that after installing the MetaMask extension on Chromium-based browsers like Chrome, Edge, and Opera, the extension began writing data to SSDs at a rate of five megabytes per second
