Bitlocker on an SSD

[michael.vaynard]

Hi guys. I just recently upgraded my old old laptop with an ssd (yay). As usual fashion for an office used laptop, I turn on Bitlocker and I realized the usage of the ssd spikes and the write and read is at a quite high numbers constantly. as SSD have a finite number of read and write, should I be worried about this?

No, it is not something to worry about.

Yes, the cells on an SSD have a limited number of write cycles.
However, that "limit" is huge.

so it should be fine then for me to run bitlocker? I currently have 112GB with 57GB free on this ssd which I transferred over from an older machine my office used and then was left unused so they say I can use it for my work laptop. That's why I am kind of worried that it may reach its limit? Also, funny joke my brother replaced my usual Crystaldiskinfo with this anime lookin one -------> http://
