How many GB's of data writes on your SSD per day?

[ItsReallyMe]

After using my WD Black NVMe SSD for 13 days I have 1 TB of writes on the SSD and an average of 100 GB per day! Is this normal?
and how many writes on your SSD per day??
Please post your Lifetime writes and time you used the SSD? if possible?
I think 100 GB is too much per day!

that's way too much. You should try to reduce SSD writing by using tweaks and tools such as Tweak-SSD (totalidea)
try to find the culprit of high writing using Process Explorer -> create a new column of "I/O write bytes" -> sort
for example


you can also create a RAMdisk from 256-512MB to store your browser's cache folders (cache, media cache, code cache, GPUcache) -> clean the folder everytime you exit the browser

disable search indexing service = windows search, hibernation

At that rate, you will kill your SSD in about 7 years [which is not bad at all ] I wrote a lot of data when I bought my SSDs, your writes will reduce overtime.

Seems like Microsoft photos used 109 GB write bytes? what to do? and why was that?

I don't know. perhaps it indexes all photos in your PC or a bug in this app causing the issue. I did a quick search on google but still don't know why
solution 1: disable background process of microsoft photos
solution 2 (much preferred): remove/uninstall microsoft photos forever and use Windows Photo viewer (the one in windows 7)
here is how to enable Windows photo viewer
- download this - extract and run the registry file (.reg)

- right-click on any photo -> properties -> open with -> change to "windows photo viewer"

100 GB a day?? How do you measure the writes Is my first question. Maybe the software that does so is faulty and reports wrong numbers. Or are you streaming/recording content?

no I only browse internet not recording anything

Is this your system disk or secondary disk?

it is system disk where i installed windows 10 pro.

Assuming that the numbers are correct, do you use a backup software?
Have you somewhere on your disk the photos duplicates created last week?

 

[BoraMurdar]

Photos App just indexed all the photos and then cleared the cache, that's why Process Explorer recorded so many gigabytes of data. It happened initially when the Photos app detected folders with images and then read all of them. It's a natural thing at the beginning of SSD use. But, this should be monitored further (in about a month) to see if read/write still grows

still, the definite solution is to get rid of Microsoft photos because it will cause the same problem again the the next days perhaps after you clear caches
look at my post for the solution

Why process explorer shows very low amount of writes by the processes but Hard disk sentinel and Crystal disk info shows i wrote 80 GB on last 14 hours?

yea i use macrium reflect to backup C drive(SSD) to external WD mybook 4TB

Process explorer only records the values from a process after you open it. When you close it and re-open, it will start a new record

hard disk sentinel and crystal record the total write value of everything

they are different. Process explorer helps you to point out who is the culprit while crystal and sentinel only help you to know that you have high writing value without telling you who

Like Evjl's Rain suggested, the best possible solution would be to uninstall the Microsoft Photos app.
Run Powershell as administrator, paste this code and hit enter,

Spoiler

get-appxpackage -allusers *Microsoft.Windows.Photos* | remove-appxpackage

 

[Andy Ful]

Uninstalling Microsoft Photos is a good but not perfect solution, because Windows 10 can install it again. The alternative solution is opening Microsoft Photos > Settings > Sources, and remove all folders which are there. This should be repeated on each account.

 

[Andy Ful]

I have added the folder with pictures (2GB) to Microsoft Photos. the indexing has resulted with 1/3 GB disk writes. So, 800 GB disk writes would require probably about 5 TB folders with photos.
