It's hard to say. 330GB/day is 3.8MB/s average, or 70 minutes at the drive's maximum capability.
But it is only a 84GB drive. How could it be writing 330GB a day? Certainly couldn't of happened without me notice it! Did you ever have to send anything back to Intel... know anything about how the process works?
Could be something happening overnight rather than continuous throughout the day. Monitor it for a few days and see what the rate of increase is--it's possible that whatever the problem was, it occurred in the past. I haven't seen a failure mode where the writes were over-reported, but it's certainly possible. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Winterlight Sent: Sunday, August 26, 2012 4:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [H] Intel SSD Toolbox >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. w >-----Original Message----- >From: [email protected] >[mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of >Winterlight >Sent: Sunday, August 26, 2012 2:23 PM >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [H] Intel SSD Toolbox > >At 01:09 PM 8/25/2012, you wrote: > >What does the utility report for writes (TB's)? > >276.93 > >I don't defrag it, there are no auto backups, and I have a 5GB RAM >drive as my \temp folde.
