Maybe because at first you install a lot (Games you have on Steam, programs like web browsers, GIMP or whatever)

It will probably go slower after that. Don't worry that much about it..

You probably did a ton of updates, installing drivers, installing games, getting the OS and a lot more. My 840 pro did 17 TB of cycles and its hold up just fine. I person from Tech Report tested the 840 pro to 600 TB and the SSD was still doing great

If you open up resource manager from the task manager, does it show the disk being written too even when the computer is idle? It should show you what file is being written too as well

Yeah doesn't seem like there's anything writing in the background then, as the others said it was probably just updates and stuff. If it keeps going up at a really high rate, just keep checking that to identify any writing programs and come back to us :)
