SSD wear - How to disable logging to $LogFile?

[brandon112]

Hey guys so scrambled up some money for a SSD, a TLC samsung evo one... since it's all I could afford. Concerned about its lifespan I used SSDReady to see how much writes my system makes and I noticed that about half of the data goes to "$LogFile", a file that belongs to the NTFS filesystem. The OS doesn't display files that start with "$" so I never knew about its existence.
Out of 30GB/day, 20GB were written to $LogFile. Apparently it's used to log every single transaction. So 1TB of useful data makes 2+TB of writes on the SSD due to $LogFile, $Mft and other NTFS files. I didn't mention the constant updates in registry and other system and program logs that cause most of the writes...
Is there a way to disable logging to $LogFile?

tl;dr: "$LogFile" is killing my new SSD, what do?

It's not killing your SSD your ssd will last longer than you think just use it as you would a hard drive and don't worry about it unless you are running out of space. An SSD is not something you worry about wearing out I have never met anyone that has had this happen. And with newer drives having the provisioning built in it even takes longer. Basicly new drives have extra space partitioned off to take over the job of a bad sector when they are detected.
