I write way to much data on my new SSD for 51 hours of work I nearly write one cycle on my Samsung 860 evo 250 GB. Just by using google chrome on every 2-3 hours it write 1 gb of data average(For example after I made some tweaks there was 163 GB written now is 170 few hours later). I try to disable the cache writing on Chrome, but didn't work out.
So far I did the following tweaks to reduce the writing of data:
-No Page file
- No Hibernation file
- Less space for system recovery
- Disabled Superfretch
I open to try any suggestion that may reduce the writings on my new SSD. In that usage it won't survive long.

A brand new SSD WILL seem to be a lot of writes in the first few days.
You're installing the OS, running all the updates, installing your applications.

After that, the daily writes slow down. A LOT.

Monitor it once a month. Not every day or hour.
Odds are...that 250GB drive will become obsolete due to size, years before it 'wears out' from too many write cycles.

I have Samsung Magician, RAPID is OFF, Overprovisioning at 11 %.
It insane that I don't write that much, only that browser and isn't that much cache from it about ~700 Mb.
Maybe is some temporally files because the free space is not changing.

I'm not lucky at the silicon lottery, I can't know if my drive will last that much or only in the time of the Limited Warranty.My wear count drop from 100 to 99 just with 0.2 TBW.
I disable the system recovery creation, will see if that make change. Also I have Kaspersky antivirus that sometimes do writes, but I think that are little updates, isn't all of the time.

It is 5 days old SSD Ii didn't saw messages for intaling updates or need to restart your pc to install updates etc etc in the last 2 days, so all large updates that wasn't present now are, but still I spot that unusual write usage recently.

Nothing to worry about, actually. I have an EVO 840 and EVO 850, both 500GB. I have used the 840 for six years and the 850 for two years. I have formatted each drive to install Windows 7 and Windows 10 at least 10 times each. Plus the 840 is handling my daily System Image backup. I have about 100GB of used space on the C:Drive and use my system everyday for at least 8 hours. I think there is no telling how long an SSD will last. My belief is that the newer Storage Technology will replace the SSD/s of 2010 to 2018 long before they ever lose their read/write speeds.
