Do SSDs writing to other drives count as 'writes'?

Or is it only written to that SSD? I would like to do system backups/copy and paste on to other drives, would that count as writes?

Also, I had about 20 BSOD dumps in the last hour, did that count as writes to my SSD? My application said it went up a whole 10gb!!

That's good, I can make a system backup then -- EDIT, I seem to be mistaken, it seems as if you can't do system restores on other drives...

Yes haha! I'm a first (second..) time SSD user, I bought one that was listed as 450mb/s read and about 450 mb/s write out of the box, the results did say that about read, I didn't think too much of the write score. My WI rating was 8.0 with this SSD, but after using it a few weeks I decided to benchmark the speeds and it was at 400mb/s read and 140mb/s write - I returned it right away.

With my current SSD (cost a bit more) it was listed 530 mb/s read and 380 mb/s write and after a good few weeks of use, I'm still at 510 mb/s read and around the same write speed aswell.
