How can I find out what's causing excessive disk writes on my SSD?

First off, it's important to note that 100GB of writes per day isn't automatically alarming for an SSD rated for 600 TBW; you'd be looking at around 16 years of lifespan. That said, 10-30GB a day is fairly typical for most Windows OS SSDs. Your rate can spike if certain conditions are met, such as: - Using Hibernate often, which incurs heavy write cycles. - Running low on RAM, causing the system to use virtual memory extensively. - Certain apps, like video editors, can write a lot to the SSD. - If your SSD is close to full, it will result in additional writes for wear leveling—keeping it under 80% full helps. - Streaming audio or video can create a lot of temporary writes, which is odd yet common. - Check if the Windows search indexer is stuck or overly active. You can disable it and use something like the Everything app for searches instead. - Lastly, check the Windows Event Viewer for any repetitive errors or issues that might be filling up the log. To diagnose the writes, try: - Opening Task Manager and sorting by disk usage to see what processes are active. - Running `resmon.exe`, clicking on the Disk tab, and monitoring which processes are doing excessive writes.
