Hi Guys,
I have a Samsung SSD 860 EVO 250GB bought on July 2018. When I checked the Samsung Magician app today it showed the total bytes written is 6.6 TB!. I have not downloaded or written anything into my SSD that leads to 6.6 TB usage. In fact I have changed all my Documents, Pictures, Downloads, Music, Desktop folders to direct the files to another HDD drive so there is no usage of SSD even if browsers download something. I am also installing all software in other HDD drive. So the SSD just uses the Windows program files. I wonder how so much data is written into the SSD. Below are the screenshots for reference. Can someone help me to understand what's wrong or what happened?
