Program showing data writing history?

[maximumoccupancy]

Hello,

I'm looking for a program that shows exactly what files are being written on my SSD, or which programs or processes access it. I want to trace the usage of my SSD.

Thank you.

ProcMon does this.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/processmonitor.aspx

Run it, and select Tools/File Summary
However, that is probably WAY more detail that you need.

If you're just looking for total writes, CrystalDiskInfo does this.

What drive do you have?
Generally, SSD's dying early from too many write cycles is a long dead concept.

Thank, I will check it out. And I already use CrystalDiskInfo for total writes.

I have a Samsung 850 Evo with 250gb.
I'm just curious because there are apparently 10gb written onto it every day, although I "only" use it for Windows and do almost all installations and downloads on my HDD.

10GB daily.
Do you have hibernation still turned on? That might be it.

Hibernation is not turned on.

Edit: Well one reason might be that I unzip large files on my HDD quite often, thus the temp folder on my SSD is drawn upon (when unzipping by drag & drop). I will avoid unzipping using the temp folder and see how much daily writing I get.

Ok there is definitely something off here: I shut down my PC last night with 5214gb total writes, now after starting it, after just 10 minutes, I have 5217gb total writes (using CrystalDiskInfo).

Any suggestions?
