Hello guys.
So as i say in the title my Local Disk (C:) Drive which is a Samsung m2 evo 970 plus keeps changing available space randomly (It varies between 180gb to 170)
I recently downloaded Davinci Resolve 17, and it is installed on my C drive even though i changed the Installation folder,so i am guessing i should uninstalled it ?
I don't know what to do,and from what i have heard, writing and reading a lot of times an SSD damages the drive.Is this going to damage my hard drive?
Thank you for the help.

i don't know about the first question but even a cheap SSD can handle a lot of write and work for at least 1 to 2 years before it start to hick up

now you have one of the best SSDs in the market and it is absolutely safe to write as much as you want and it can work without any problem for at least 5 to 7 years 

also reading does not effect the life span

sorry for my English

The amount of writes needed to even begin to effect an SSD (especially good ones like Samsungs) is probably tens of times more than the usual user can generate. I have ~30TB written on my three year old 960 PRO, which is rated for 400TB written in 5 years. Tests have shown some drives surviving up to a PB of writes.
