Is it normal for my SSD to write 10-20GB a day?

This is a 250GB 850 EVO so I realize that even at this rate, it will still last a very long time. However I don't like the idea that my SSD is constantly writing this much data. Pagefile is on HDD, hibernation off, defrag off, search indexing is off, browser cache is saved to a ramdisk, TRIM is enabled and working. If i look in the resource manager it just says "system" under whats writing data. Some people say they've only written about a TB in a year but at this rate it seems like they aren't writing as much as me. What can I do to minimize the amount of data that is being written to my SSD?
 
Solution
I got a year and a half old Crucial M500 240Gb with 6.1Tb writes on it but I do write to it a lot and i don't have it on everyday.

with 6151 TB and 2239 it comes out to an average of 2.7GB an hour for me but then i do have page file on here since it is my only drive but no hibernation.
