Question SSD fills up really fast

[Ionutt3]

Hello! I've got a problem I've purchased this SSD ( Kingston UV400 240 Gb ) back in December 3. Since then i've noticed something which I think is strange. Hard Disk Sentinel it says that it wrote 9,29 TB since then, and it has 95% Life, it's been powered up for 42 days. On this SSD I have only Windows 10 and some adobe programs which I didn't used at all in many months... My question : Is this normal?....Because I don't think so...

The first month or two of a new drive, you do a lot of write cycles to it.
Installing the OS, applications, etc.

That will flatten out over time.
9TB in 3 months is not overly excessive.

does your drive swap alot?
i have 14TB written on system drive with 3185 hours power on

What are the full specs for this system?
How full is this drive?
A lot of Restore Points being saved?


I should clarify - 9TB in that timespan is on the high side, but not overly excessive.

@USAFRet The full specs are Nvidia 1070 Ti, i7 8700K, 16 GB DDR4, restore points are OFF. And 342 GB Free of 446 GB.

@kerberos_20 What do you mean if I swap my drive?

@kerberos_20 What do you mean if I swap my drive?

when system run low on system ram, it tends to use swap file to offload some space from your ram
combined with fast startup and hibernation it can make some heavy disk writes

The Swap drive WAS on C: But Recently i've moved it on another Drive.

Since the removal of page file, meaning 15th March 2020, un till now it filled from 8.67 TB to 9.37 TB.

@kerberos_20 What is more specifically? Sorry, to disturb though.

 

[USAFRet]

Install and run either WinDirStat, or WizTree.

Run as Administrator, selecting only the drive in question.
Post a screencap here

I've installed WindDirStat, and this is what it showed me.

What do you use this system for?
Any indication of what the LPPREV files are from? (the orange ones, 12GB, 9,614 of them)

 

[Ionutt3]

I Use this system for windows(booting up mainly) And the file LPREV is the Lightroom from Adobe, it's like the projects, like a cache for each session I think? Something like that.

OK.
Just wanted to make sure it wasn't some application running in the background, generating all those.

Sounds like your Adobe maybe part of the problem. Wheres the Cache and Scratch set to?
