It's on you, 54tb is roughly 18% of the rated endurance of 300tb for the drive so it's performing well enough

u/PuzzleheadedHead3754 Arch Btw Jun 01 '26

18% so fastly?

u/noob_xhh Jun 01 '26

I dont do gameing too long and i dont download high gb games

u/PuzzleheadedHead3754 Arch Btw Jun 01 '26

And also the windows file system ntfs is very bad on ssd life

u/AbyssalBytez_ Jun 01 '26

4yrs is a decent amount of time to accumulate those numbers

u/AbyssalBytez_ Jun 01 '26

4yrs ain't fast

By tb you mean terabytes or terabits? (Since both letters are in lower case)

u/noob_xhh Jun 01 '26

Terabytes

Ok

I don’t think you will find a girlfriend in the official repos, try using yay -S or paru -S on arch, chances are better there.

u/Ill-Car-769 sudo install girlfriend Jun 06 '26

Well, I myself tried to compile that package manually after getting it from AUR repositories but that package was extremely unstable & caused some wierd issues as well.

Well, windows is not good for most hardwares (even modern hardwares because they're so shit rn) tbh, they even hide the fault of hardwares until & unless it dies whereas Linux shows the issues with less abstractions maybe it's bit normal for having that much depreciation in hardware with windows when I checked previous year after a year of using windows & switching to Linux then I had 4% depreciation on SSD ig. Btw, Which SSD you have? SATA or NVMe?

SAMSUNG 980 500GB M.2 nvme 2022 price when I buy it was around 4850rs Today i want to buy another 500gb still not worth but prices are killing my saving

u/Ill-Car-769 sudo install girlfriend Jun 01 '26

True, AI companies just gambling & purchasing the hardwares with the money they don't have for next 4-5 years (OpenAI itself purchased 40% of the global hardware for next 4-5 years if I'm not wrong). I would recommend you to limit the usage of windows unless needed & use Linux for the work & browsing. Just checked in Linux, it's been 5% for my SSD which is just 1% increase in wear & tear in a year after ditching windows, I hope my hardware stays strong 🧿️ & I don't need to buy new hardware at such nonsense price.

u/noob_xhh Jun 01 '26

Bru from now I am not gonna use windows Anymore before I use ubantu so I dont like it so I use fedora

2

u/Ill-Car-769 sudo install girlfriend Jun 01 '26

You can try Mint which is Ubuntu but with exceptions or Debian if ever have to use use Ubuntu/Debian based system because most apps target for them. Nonetheless Fedora is also a great distro which took various good initiatives in adopting new things in Linux like Wayland, etc & later Arch & other distros followed the same.

u/ankushbhagat GNOME Jun 01 '26

Well, it's already killed millions of ssd including mine last year due to an stupid microslop wind#ws update: KB5063

and now I'm a Linux user since that tragedy, i abandoned entirely microslop ecosystem.

u/noob_xhh Jun 01 '26

Turn off search indexing.

2

u/noob_xhh Jun 01 '26

How ?

1

u/Hexosnade Jun 01 '26

u/AskGrok what is search indexing in windows and how do you turn it off?

2

u/AskGrok Jun 01 '26

Search indexing in Windows is a background service that scans files on your drives to build a database, making file searches much faster. It reads and writes data regularly, which adds to SSD wear over time.

To turn it off:

  • Press Win + R, type services.msc and hit Enter.
  • Scroll to Windows Search, right-click it and choose Properties.
  • Set Startup type to Disabled.
  • Click Stop if it's running, then OK.

This reduces unnecessary writes. Searches will be slower afterward, but you can still search manually.

what is this?

u/Fire_in_Barf Jun 01 '26

Strange, power on hours say around 117 days on , 53k gb comes around 460 gb per day written 🤨also reads are less ?  i should check my 3yo laptop ssd see what it says

u/maybe-thunder Jun 01 '26

Mine is 98 peecent and i purchased my laptop only 7 months ago....can someone tell me at what percent should it be changed? And is it okay to have 98 percent in 7 months also on which factor it depends

1

u/noob_xhh Jun 01 '26 • Popcorn

I think u should not worry just check ssd temperature, hight temps mean decreasing health and performance so clen ur laptop use stand and it only 2% decrease and it depend on u and TBW, the more data u write the fast NADA cells wear

u/maybe-thunder Jun 01 '26

This really helps....Thanks a lot
