### Disk Cache
Only disable the disk cache if your machine:
* **Uses [HDD](https://www.pcmag.com/encyclopedia/term/hard-disk).** Hard drive failure with modern SSDs is [non-existent](https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/xxj06q/comment/irfidb4/).
* **Has 16GB+ RAM (memory).** With sufficient RAM, only using the memory and media caches may be faster, but [YMMV](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ymmv).
* You believe disabling it helps your privacy.
```javascript
// PREF: disable disk cache
