Dear Caloma,
I'm pasting an extract from Doc/INPUT_PW.txt:

    Variable:       disk_io

    Type:           CHARACTER
    Default:        'default'
    Description:    Specifies the amount of disk I/O activity
                    'high':    save all data at each SCF step

                    'default': save wavefunctions at each SCF step unless
                               there is a single k-point per process

                    'low' :    store wfc in memory, save only at the end

                    'none':    do not save wfc, not even at the end

                    If restarting from an interrupted calculation, the code
                    will try to figure out what is available on disk. The
                    more you write, the more complete the restart will be.

"wfc" stands for wavefunctions
best regards
