How to reduce the writes on SSD (windows optimization) ?

[7564321]

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.

With CClener I discover only 1 GB trash data, so the Windows must be the reason for that usage.

The automatic wear leveling that occurs at all times is counted in the writes. You have no control over that.

Are you using Samsung Magician with RAPID Mode turned on?

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.

What makes you think it won't last long? The older 840 Evo: 250GB drive doing 100GiB of writes a day. Estimated lifespan 7.91 years.

Also read the whole article. Those are 'official' figures. Real life endurance is usually double that.

how new is this drive? If it is very new and are you are counting from windows install, that would consume a lot of writes, along with temp storage of the updates, and installing updates.

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.

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.

^ precisely, hence the age question, you'll find that most of that happened on days 1&2. Write down the number now, come back in a week or two. Your baseline number is after all of the installations.

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😀rive 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.
