Hello Tom's community,
I have a newbie question. I do not know much about SSD, but I purchased them because of their performance. My rig spec is:
1.CPU: Intel Core i7-4770k
2.CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H100i
3.Motherboard: Asus ROG Maximus VI Formula
4.Memory: Gskill Trident X 16GB 2400MHz
5.SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB and 840 EVO 500GB
6.HDD: Toshiba 3TB
7.GPU: EVGA Geforce GTX 770 SC
8.Case: NZXT Phantom 530
9.PSU: Corsair AX760
10.Optical Drive: LG 14x Bluray Burner
So I use Samsung Magician to optimize the SSD's performance and longevity. What does the "Total Bytes Written" indicate? Before I only see the SSD write 0.01-0.02 TB per day, but recently it writes like 3-5 TB per day, sometimes even 10 TB.
Like yesterday I saw the number was 26.15, today it is 33.27. How could the SSD write that much if I do not do anything intensively? My main concern is that each SSD has a limited number of bytes they can write before the flash cells die out. I want my SSD to last for a while and not die anytime soon you know. The SSD has only been 6 months old.
Any helps would be much appreciated. Thanks for you all time to read this thread.
