Totally normal. If 3GiB is too much, then the Satoshi client is not for you. There are tiny trustless alternatives such as Electrum and trustless online wallets like http://blockchain.info/wallet . |

You may change the directory to a HDD if you wish by using the switch "example" without brackets [-datadir=E:\Bitcoin].
Create a shortcut of the btc client, right click on the new shortcut, click properties, at the end of the target field, add -datadir=DIRECTORY , hit apply, ok.
In that directory you have chosen, copy the contents that are in the original directory over to your new directory.
Double click the shortcut. All should be well, no more ssd writes and saves room for trim/garbage collection. Save your nands.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=944.msg11535#msg11535I might make the move to a portable version. |

Hey, thx lots! I had the exact same problem. No more. Someone should suggest this option to Gavin to be implemented by default into the client. Cheers |
