I recently bought an Intel 660P SSD. When I open the Task Manager and look at the disk graphic in the performance tab, I can see that my main disk (the aforementioned SSD) reads and writes every couple seconds even when I'm not running any programs. Is this normal? I know that Windows runs many of its own services in the background so I'm assuming this has something to do with that but I wanted to be sure. Thanks.<SPAN class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="Task Manager.jpg"><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="image"><img src="https://community.solidigm.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/56i2C6A1C1B7535F72F/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="image" alt="image" /></span></SPAN></P> Sat, 27 Apr 2019 17:15:29 GMT https://community.solidigm.com/t5/solid-state-drives-nand/is-this-normal/m-p/12333#M3377 CKara6 2019-04-27T17:15:29Z https://community.solidigm.com/t5/solid-state-drives-nand/is-this-normal/m-p/12334#M3378 <P>This is "normal" for windows.</P><P>Doc</P> Sat, 27 Apr 2019 19:26:29 GMT https://community.solidigm.com/t5/solid-state-drives-nand/is-this-normal/m-p/12334#M3378 AlHill 2019-04-27T19:26:29Z https://community.solidigm.com/t5/solid-state-drives-nand/is-this-normal/m-p/12335#M3379 <P>What does that mean?

I read somewhere that it's not good for SSDs to be written on a lot, so I just wanted to be sure.</P> Sat, 27 Apr 2019 19:53:23 GMT https://community.solidigm.com/t5/solid-state-drives-nand/is-this-normal/m-p/12337#M3381 CKara6 2019-04-27T19:53:23Z
