[SOLVED] New SSD already has 974GB written?

[Selynelar]

Hi all,

I have a Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1tb M.2 ssd.

My problem is that I just finished my new pc build. I did not do much only install the Windows 10 64bit version. Installed of course the drivers/ small programs(like Hdd sentinel,Samsung Magician,Eset Internet Security,Chrome,Logitech Gaming software, Ducky Rgb and maybe few but really not large size.) I partitioned also my new hdd (2tb). And at last download about six movies which has sizes maximum 50gb. I downloaded also like 4 versions of nvidia drivers for test. Only two of them I installed with Ddu Uninstaller. And that's all.
No game yet at all. As I said fresh installed windows.

Last night I checked the ssd with Samsung Magician. And shows that it has already 974gb written. How is this possible?
In disk management shows that there's around 86gb used space. Free space is around 900gb.

My specs:
Motherboard: Msi Z490 Unify
Cpu: I7 10700k
Vga: Msi Rtx 2080 Ti GamingX Trio
Ssd: Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1tb M.2
Hdd: 2tb Wd Black
Memory: 2x16gb Hyperx Fury 3200mhz
Psu: Seasonic Focus Plus PX 850w Platinum
Case: BeQuiet Pure Base 500Dx

Also my last question that is it normal that the ssd temperature is always around 50c degrees even not under stressing.?Only in normal idle in desktop mode.

Thanks for your replies.

Please run CrystalDiskInfo, and show us a screencapp.

Power on hours, number of power on, and data written.

In regards to temps, high end NVME like yours get pretty warm.
Especially if you have it installed into an M.2 slot that is behind or right above the GPU

I have an idea. I ran a diagnostic in Samsung Magician about my ssd. I beleive it could be the thing that shows this amount of writings. Which is excatly the ssd capacity which is the extra written data.

Please show us some screencaps of what you're seeing.

Okay. So these are what I see.
And thanks for your time to helping me.

I see nothing really wrong.
The first few days/weeks of an SSD, there are a LOT of write cycles.

Remember, that a delete also contributes to that 'writing'.
The cells get 'erased'.

Monitor that use once a week, for the next few weeks/months.
Build a graph over time.
I'll bet you see that usage curve level out over time.

So it is usual and normal for an ssd to get lot write cycles?
Btw since my question I did not see any huge amount of writings. That is why i was thinking about the diagnostic run caused this.

Thanks again. BTW. Happy New Year

Over the first few days/weeks, yes.
Install, uninstall, delete, etc....

After a while, it flattens out.

As a (semi?) normal 3-5 hours per day typical user, I seem to pretty consistently average a little less than 10 TB written per year...(32 TBW in 3.5 years)...; so, I'd look for about 4-5 TBW in 6 months, etc...; some months slow, others (MS feature updates, new WIndows semi-annual update releases, etc., add a quick few 10-20 GB here and there)
