SSD Lifetime is wrong ?

idata — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 15:36:18 GMT

Hello guys.

I changed my SSD OCZ Vertex 2 with SSD Intel Series 330 60 GB. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64, AHCI was already in BIOS as enabled.

So far so good, i installed all the drivers, programs, etc. Everything runs smooth and nice.

The cache folder for Mozilla Firefox ( my default browser ) is on the D partition, which is an hard drive, same story for the swap.

I disabled the System Restore, Defragmentation, Superfetch as well...

I checked with the program SSD Life Pro just to see some details. After less than 2 hours i have already

those values ( read / write ) as in the attached images.

The print screens are made at a very short period of time between each other.

I only surfed the web with Mozilla Firefox.

Could you explain it to me, please, why is there already 55 / 59 GB ?

Is something wrong with the program SSD Life Pro ?

Can you give me some tips, please ?

Thank you.

Later edit 2-3 days later :

After 2-3 days of normal use, the lifetime decreased from 8 years 8 months to 8 years and 5 months.

Thats not normal at all.

Any ideas, guys ? Do you think that's okay ?
