Hi,

 

I would like to address the issue I've been experiencing. Prior to playing DAI I've installed a tool from Samsung called - Samsung Magician. Apart from other things it checks the SSD disk usage. The value is given in TBW.

 

To my surprise after playing the game my TBW almost doubled. I've started with 0,25 TB (I have this SSD for ~ 1,5 years now). Now my TBW is 0.43 TB. It's increasing about 0.01 TB per day after playing DAI.

 

Can somebody PLEASE adress the issue. I would really like to play off SSD as the loading times are acceptable only this way.

Disk use or disk write?

 

1 Gb daily... You're lucky. What I'm doing on my SSD is far more than that.

 

If you expect SSD lasting more than 10 years, just don't. It'll still fart.

But why worry? Prices on SSD get lower daily. In 10 years it'll probably cost less than today's HDD.

I'm getting 10 Gb after ~ 1,5h of gameplay in DAI. That's what I'm concerned about.

Given how low your TBW is, I don't see what the issue is. Do you understand what TBW is and how high it has to get before it is a problem? Samsung drives are rated for 330 TBW before complete failure. I'd say you have nothing to worry about. If you wrote 10 GB/day, it would take 94 years to wear out your SSD, so even at 100 GB/day, you're talking almost 10 years.

Wait, wait, wait...you've had your SSD for 1.5 years and your TBW is only at 0.43TB?

 

......

 

 

You really have nothing to worry about.

Wow. I had mine for 3 months and it's at 1.13 Total Bites Written.
What are you using yours for? :)

I deliberately make sure my SSD is ONLY for the OS.

I've installed DA:I on my SSD, and before playing for the first time, CrystalDiskInfo told me I had:

Total Host Writes: 768 GB

And now, after 90 hours of gameplay, I have:

Total Host Writes: 768 GB

I reckon I only have Windows and "Program Files" on this SSD. Even the "Users" and "ProgramData" folders are on a normal HDD. 

But if DAI is writing things, it must be because of the autosaving or something like that...

People really need to stop worrying about SSDs wearing out. With modern SSD's, modern OSes, etc... it just isn't going to happen unless you only upgrade your system once a decade, and even then its likely that it will still be working.

Hi,

A hundred bucks say DAI isn't the only thing on that SSD because it simply isn't writing that much data. If I had to guess I'd say it's your OS or scratch drive and your memory gets swapped onto that disk.

 

Next time you want to check, open the Task Manager, go into Details, add the I/O read bytes column, play DAI and then post a screencap of the amount the DAI exe has written.

 

Also, in an ongoing stress test the Samsung Evo Pro just passed 1PB of data written without failure. At your current rate that would take you about 30 years if DAI actually were writing that much data.

 

edit: How about a screencap of the values the tool shows?
