Samsung 960 Evo 60TB written bytes with uptime of around 300hours

[rethmann.maurice]

Hey guys,

I recently installed my windows on my new 960 Evo. I already use two 850 evos which had windows installed earlier. While scrolling through samsung magician I noticed that it has 60TB written on it with just about 300 hours of uptime.

How can this be possible? Nvidia Shadowplay was deactivated the whole time.

Thanks for your help

I am at only 10TB after 18 months, so, certainly that is high writes....*if* it is accurate...

That's hugely excessive.
That's about 5TB per day, running 24/7.

Either a faulty drive, a faulty reading, or you have some malware that is constantly writing to that drive.
