MetaMask developer Consensys has acknowledged reports of excessive disk activity affecting some users. The issue reportedly involves the browser extension writing significant amounts of data, sometimes hundreds of gigabytes, to solid-state drives (SSDs) daily. This can lead to performance degradation and potentially shorten the lifespan of the storage device. Consensys is actively investigating the root cause of this problem and has assured users that a fix is on the way. While the exact timeline for the release is not yet known, the company stated, "We are actively investigating the issue and a fix will be deployed soon." Users experiencing this issue are advised to monitor MetaMask's official communication channels for updates and potential workarounds. ```
