Option To Deactivate The Auto-Save Replay Function

Hello Blizzard,
I’ve noticed that there is no option in the ‘Observer and Replay’ section of Heroes Of The Storm to deactivate the auto-save replay function.

For example, let’s say that a ‘saved replay’ file has approximately 1000 Kb = 1 Mb.
If someone is playing 80 games per month he also stores 80 Mb; 960 MB yearly.
( Although probably a hard core fan would be playing even more than that )

The point that I am trying to make is that HD and SS - Drives have a certain amount of writes and rewrites which can lower the life expectancy of them.
For SS Drives that might be insignificant due to the 2,400 TBW that manufacturers support of having before they actually go out of use.
But what about HD Drives…

To conclude, if someone is recording daily ( OBS ) this may very well affect the performance of his system. Not everyone can afford a high end computer, nor it may be his/her priority and Heroes Of The Storm is a game that even in low settings can place your system in a microwave.

Is there a possibility to apply the option to Activate/Deactivate the auto-save function for replays ?

Best regards, Kazoku D.
