I suspect is just Intel validation tests.</P> Thu, 09 Jun 2011 00:46:57 GMT idata 2011-06-09T00:46:57Z https://community.solidigm.com/t5/archive/how-many-quot-host-writes-quot-on-a-new-320series-ssd/m-p/10837#M8364 <P>Hello,</P><P></P><P>I've got a new 120GB 320series Intel SSD. The Package was sealed.</P><P>There are about 40GB more "Host writes" (smart, SSD-Toolbox) on the Drive then I did. (Disk Space in use after first installation ~40GB, s.m.a.r.t. value "Host writes" ~80GB)</P><P>How ist this possible?</P><P></P><P>P.S. The "Power On hours count" value is 2. But the Drive ist just more than 5 hours in use for Software installation.</P><P></P><P>Best regards from Italy</P><P></P><P>marco lazzery</P> Wed, 08 Jun 2011 20:58:38 GMT https://community.solidigm.com/t5/archive/how-many-quot-host-writes-quot-on-a-new-320series-ssd/m-p/10837#M8364 idata 2011-06-08T20:58:38Z https://community.solidigm.com/t5/archive/how-many-quot-host-writes-quot-on-a-new-320series-ssd/m-p/10838#M8365 <P>I would not worry about it too much.
