I got a new laptop a couple weeks ago that has 894 host writes on it according to HWinfo.
This is odd because it is only a 512 Gb drive and I have filled up 416Gb.
I also test ran Doom Eternal (~90Gb) and deleted the Keyscape installer (~75Gb), so that is a total of 581Gb.
What else could cause so many extra writes and is that normal? I created an image of the drive on another SSD but wouldn't that only create writes on the external SSD?
I checked back through Event Viewer for possible use before my purchase and there are only some entries on one day in Dec 2022 over a few hours then nothing until the day I purchased it. It was manufactured in Dec 2022 so I assume those entries are just the OS and software install.
It just went up another Gb in the last 30 min or so while I am runing FL Studio and browsing the internet.
Should I be concerned?
