I'm assuming you used Kingston's SSD Manager to monitor the health of your SSD? Latest firmware for your SSD? I'd keep an eye on the health of your SSD after a week. If things start to drop, then I think you should backup your data and also keep your seller/Kingston in the loop.

What is the SSD used as? How many partitions does the SSD have? You're advised to not create partitions outside of what the OS makes(if it's used for your boot drive).

You need to measure over time, not a single snapshot in time.

The first days or weeks, you're writing a LOT to the drive.
That use curve flattens out after a while.

Check it once a week, and create a graph over time.

I installed an 80 GB game on it to try how fast is it and then deleted it and installed it again to show someone and then deleted it as I dont' play it anymorw, I didn't know about the health of ssd and now I regret doing that, no more gmaes on ssd just OS stuff to keep it it's health, a few secs in loading screen is not that big of a deal anyway.
