Question SSD wearing out much faster than it should

[Jacob12876]

Hi, i have a Samsung SSD 750 EVO 250GB that i have written 15.2 TB to, but the wear levelling count in down to 52%.
Ii contacted Samsung and they said my PC is making it wear much faster, does anyone have any idea what's causing this and how to fix it?

Something is doing a lot of writing, how full is it ?

Check with windows resource monitor, open Disk tab and observe Disk activity section.
If you order it by column write, it will show processes, that do most of disk writing activity.

If your system is low on ram and it does excessive pagefile writes, then this may cause additional wear.
Also if SSD is almost full, this causes additional wear also.
And you should disable hibernation on system with SSD.

It would be great, if you could show screenshot from Samsung Magician - drive smart data.

In the resource monitor the only processes with the most disk activity are System - (about 80,000 to 500,000 B/sec) and chrome (30,000 to 300,000 B/sec)

I have 16GB of ram and the SSD has about 40GB free.

Can you show the screenshot?

My guess is that you have everything pointed at C. All the temp files, cache files, documents, pagefile, downloads, all libraries. So every time you do anything, windows is hitting your ssd in 6 or 8 places simultaneously instead of 3-4

Your SSD has an endurance of 70TB, where do you see wear level?

Samsung magician shows that.

I thought wear means TBs written/endurance which would be 22% in your case.
