EaseUS partition resizing. Does it [significantly] lower the life expectancy of my solid state drive?

Ihavenousername · Jan 9, 2017

Hello, I recently resized a partition on my SSD from 132GB to 119GB using EaseUS Partition Master Free, and of course, I selected the checkbox 'Optimize for SSD'. I know that it does lower the life expectancy of my solid-state drive, but by how much (or how significantly)? Also, it's a 256GB NAND SLC solid-state drive. Thank you!

Not significantly at all.
Current consumer grade SSD are not really hampered by too many write cycles.
If you were to do a 100% wipe and write, every day, for years....then yes, maybe.

Not actual numbers, but you maybe lowered the life from 10 years to 9.97 years. About that level.

I'm interested to know what drive you have that started out at 132GB?

Hi,

Thank you for answering, I have selected your answer as the best! The solid-state drive came with the computer, and was advertised to have 256GB. I thought something was wrong at first, since I saw it only had a 132GB as the OS' main drive (at that time I did not know it even was a partition), but then I downloaded EaseUS and saw all of that unallocated space on the disk. I guess somebody did not know what they were doing and did not use up all of that unallocated space, but then I just found myself doing a dual boot on the same drive, so I diminished the size of the partition.
