Is it normal that Windows’s automatic SSD optimisation / re-trim sometimes generates a lot of writes? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

You're concerned about 20GBs a day, really?

I am sure that it’s not because of another program or Windows updates.

This should be only like 25GB (at 256kbps). Have multiple HDDs/SSDs with copies. Backup to cloud. Don't bother with optical media unless you have a BluRay writer already.
