Excessive writes on C: drive
1 hour ago, ADM-Ntek said:i already have my Download folder on a HDD. and when i look into Task Manager the only regular activities i see are system registry and chrome and the first to are at 0,1MB/s. and when it comes to background programs there isn't that much
Rainmeter for a clock on my second screen.
dual monitor tools for some functions and it changes wallpapers every 20 minutes.
Aida64 for monitoring system information.
Logitech gaming software for custom keys and makros.
Asus AI suite 3 for fan control.
the virtual memory is set by the system to about 5GB.
is there a monitoring tool that i could just run and record the drives activity for maybe a few hours?
You could get HWInfo to see the hardware-level writes. There you can also see how much has been written since you booted the PC up. That resets on every restart and shutdown. In HWInfo, you also have min, max and avg values, so that might be useful to you. I have never seen that much write activity in that short amount of time. My M.2SSD (512GB) has ~13TB of total writes after around 2.5 years. And I used to do a LOT of speed tests, I don't know why I did that many lol, so I could have like 7-10TB of writes if I hadn't done them
