how much have you written to your SSD?

[Peter Vaughan Truslow]

title says most of it. if you open anything that displays SMART data like crystaldiskinfo, check out the host writes.

I was astonished to have written nearly 130 Terabytes to my 250GB SSD.

I have no idea how I wrote so much data.

Upwards of infinity...

 

I have no SSD.

Wow, I I have written 1.65Tb after 3 months? I thought I was writing a lot.

I have had this SSD maybe 8 months. I'm actually quite worried. it shouldn't be writing that much data.

0tb (have yet to receive I won a 480gb r7 ssd that's on its way)

sounds like an issue with the SSD or some software writing a lot of data to your SSD... I'd seriously recommend an RMA

Power On Hours?

I've had mine in use for 7.3 months (5254 hours) and have written 3.92 TB.

It certainly should not. What ssd do you have?

[Peter Vaughan Truslow]

Crucial M500 250GB model

this was more of a survey sort of thing. I know that there has to be some reason that I am writing that much data, and I am in the process of finding out why.

[Marvzl1357]

hmm.. apparently I've only got 74 power on hours, and only written 741gb.

Seems like hardly anything...

[dushypoo]

Now here's my regular 160gb HDD.... over 40 PB...

[SkR]

ive only had my SSD for about 3 months so not alot. currently 837GB written.

 

i was going through my old HHD that i had in my laptop. Power on hrs is 12301 hrs. i was like OOOMMMMGGG!

[Peter Vaughan Truslow]

my laptop is at 2 TB of write, my HTPC has 90 TB of writes on it's SSD, which I expected because it is cacheing live TV for several hours out of the day, and I am not concerned as it is a sandforce drive and the video is uncompressed, so it's proably more like 30-50TB after the controller compresses it.

my desktop though with the whopping 130 TB of host writes. . . I just ran malwarebytes and am running a boot time Avast! scan. if that turns up nothing and my host writes keep climbing, I'll be contacting support.

[Imaginaerum]

I have 5TB on my 120GB SSD, most of which was accidental when I saved huge files to the SSD instead of my storage hard drives or accidentally downloaded Titanfall after a few reformats

[pspfreak]

I have 10.2tb on my 256gb 840 pro.

[Valentyn]

Aw! It doesn't read HFS+ disks, or exFat, or well any of my Thunderbolt drives.

 

My NTFS windows 8.1 SSD is only 2 weeks old, and only has 7TB written to it. 

 

Although On my HFS+ disks for OS X I easily write a few TB a week.

[KCB50L]

in the 2 months since installing my 500gb 840 EVO I have written 0.60tb to it.

[TheProfosist]

Looking close to 10 TB each on the 840 and 840 Pro in my laptop.

[TheProfosist]

Oh I should mention that over 2 years or so.

Video data is almost always already compressed and when sandforce tries to compress already compressed data with its loose algorithm it actually increases the side by 2-5% thus actually inducing more writes and slower speeds.

Well one of the Crucial MX100 512GB I currently use has around 3TB (bought on 6.7.2014) and the second one I got after I RMAed my 4 yo Patriot Inferno 120GB now has just under 1TB (I got this one on 12.8.2014) and since I reinstalled my system a few times and I don't have any HDD in my main rig so I also use it for my downloads.

 

 

the oldest SSD I still have is Intel 520 120GB and this one has around 20TB of writes and I'm not sure how does the Kingston 60GB SSD count the writes(you can check the screen)

[TheProfosist]

That reminds me I wonder what my Intel X25-V 40GB drive has as it was my original SSD and its still in use today.

I feel like the compression for WMC DVR is very loose as it takes up 10GB+ per hour.

[JR1911]

According to Samsung Magician I have written 1,29TB on my 840 Pro in about 9 months.

[Peter Vaughan Truslow]

so according to that program I have written twice the rated write endurance for the drive, but somehow I get day1 performance and it's never been secure erased to restore performance.

somehow that doesn't make sense. if the number keeps climbing I WILL be contacting support. luckily it hasa 3 year warranty.
