Question (Tutorial) This helps in SSD lifespan by doing simple trick without software

[danny009]

I'm not sure where to post this but I think you people may find this useful, thats why I'm posting it, to not suffer and not become a paranoid about SSD lifespan, it seems this helped me so far and I will list details below,

My SSD: early model a samsung 250GB EVO 750 (there been far better models of this so it is very unlikely you purchase this today on Amazon etc)

WARNING: This method assumes that your NOT using the Windows Search and it is disabled via Services.msc,

Written Data to SSD that Windows 10 installed on it, (BEFORE)
14.8TB 6/28/2021
Written data to SSD that Windows 10 installed on it, (AFTER)
14.8TB 7/6/2021

I'm not sure if this is a valid distance in terms of writing data on SSD by Windows 10 log files etc but I seen FAR WORSE on my SSD so this is a good chance doing this trick prevented some unneeded log files.

1. Open This PC (or My Computer)
2. Right click C drive or where your windows 10 installed
3. Properties
4. Upon new window, look carefully below and UNCHECK the following "allow files on this drive to be indexed in addition to file properties" click apply first, you will get a second pop up window about letting you know what your about to do, see "disable indexing" if its this, click YES, you may get a UAC prompt after this or admin warning, click YES/Allow,
5. Wait process to finish on a new progress bar window, this will take some time but it will eventually finish so wait,

(if your SSD drive is like 1TB or so may take longer)

That is what helped me so far and I will let you folks know in a few more days or weeks the results,

6. If your a paranoid like myself, do this on your all drives,

Good luck

if you are paranoid, you should also have multiple backup of your data
