Hey everyone! I'm trying to figure out why my Samsung 980 Pro 1TB SSD has logged an astounding 2270TB of written data over the past two years. It's now showing a critical health warning, and I'm looking to replace it soon. What could possibly lead to that kind of data consumption?

It might be due to heavy swap or page file usage. How much RAM are you actually using on average?

I recently upgraded to 32 GB and I’ve been maxing it out with Minecraft and other RAM-heavy games. Do you think a faulty RAM stick could be causing excessive write operations on the SSD?
