The darlings at the moment are the Samsung 830 and Crucial m4 (and possibly
the new Plextor M5 Pro), but unless you figure out what it is that's writing
so much data to your SSD, you're just going to kill it too.

If it was being hammered with that many writes the drive light would be on continuously. Is it possible that the drives old firmware caused this... or that the drive is going bad? I have 9 months left of a three year warranty so maybe I should contact Intel about this ..... or are they going to say the SMART says it's healthy ...end of conversation.

276.93

I don't defrag it, there are no auto backups, and I have a 5GB RAM drive as
my \temp folde. I am aware of every service and everything that autoloads so
if that  TB number is excessive I don't know where  writes are coming from.
I have too much physical RAM for it to be the swap.

Are Crucial still the current best SSDs Greg? thanks
