SSD Write total

[LahryMusic]

I've written 4,294 GB to my ssd, is that a lot? I had realized that Windows was set to defrag all of my drives and ssds don't take kindly to that. The drive has been in use since February. This is also only my C drive.

GB!? how big of a SSD do you have? 

EDIT: stupid me, WRITTEN, not used...

That should be fine as long as its a decent SSD. you are right though, you should not be defragging the ssd.

A forum post I found said you would have to write 5GB of data per day for 5 years before a SSD died so you should be fine.
