[SOLVED] Formatting SSD multiple times can cause some harm?

[Ishit Arya]

So lately I had to format and reinstall windows multiple times, probably 2-4 times because I'm still somewhat newb when it comes to PC, my PC is a pre-build and had everything installed.

First I messed up device drivers and then downloaded many motherboard bloatware without knowing.

It was a learning experience for sure but did this cost my SSD some harm?

My SSD is Samsung 970 Pro 500GB and it had already written 6tb worth of data.

It will eat into its lifespan, however since you have a good ssd, it still will last a long time

If you do it 2-4 times a day, every day, for a year....yes.
What you've done? No.

6TB is 1% of the warranty lifespan.

Not to worry.
The PRO version in particular is designed with higher endurance than the EVO versions.
Your ssd in a heavy desktop environment is likely to go obsolete long before it wears out
