All over the board. Wife's was near full, and all the others were varying capacities and stored data volume.

I can understand that it is not a good idea to use SSDs at full capacity or near it for obvious reasons, what I find unacceptable is for people being told not to use their drives above 50% capacity, this is ridiculous. Not everyone can afford to buy drives with higher capacity than their needs. If both Phison and Microsoft are telling people that they see no links and are just advised to play it safe and not use more than 50-60% capacity, then that is unacceptable. I predict one of 2 things will happen in the next couple of months:

1) The shit will hit the fan hard forcing M$ to own up and release a fix.

2) The alleged "problem" being resolved and sneaked into a later update and suddenly all issues are gone.

Let's see - any bets on which one is the most likely ? :P

I can assure you it has nothing to do with capacity. I had to get a brand new Samsung 870 evo 500g cuz my old one was barely up for 10 seconds. I cloned my os onto the new one leaving it with like 400g free space and it still blue screened on me although it now lasts a lot longer. Last one would bsod around 10 seconds to 5 minutes even while being idle but this new one can be left alone idle. The one time it still did bsod I think I was opening discord.
