After about 2 months of trying to fix my questions, contributing and finally very short conversation with one of moderators I got rid of question ban. Moderator that helped me suggested that I should put my next question on meta and see people feedback before I put my question on superuser. I have question related with SSD. --- Title: **How can I measure how much data I write daily?** I would like to run few experiments and see how much data is being written on my disk when I do specyfic tasks (programming, running virtual machines, working with databases, audio editing etc.). I want to use that data to estimate SSD lifespan and decide how big SSD I really need to avoid killing SSD in 1 year. I have read somewhere that average user writes 20GB/day and that value may be used to estimate SSD lifespan, however I am probably not average user. I know that Windows Performance Monitor exists and there is "Average bytes / Write" counter or something very similar (im not using non-english Windows), but... is this really good idea to count written bytes? --- Can I post it without <s>being banned again</s> risk of being downvoted hard?
