My 128GB Falcon II is rapidly losing drive life.
For every 2-3GB of data written (SMART value C7*512), the average erase count (D0) increases by 10. The remaining drive life is dropping by 1% every 10 days.
Given it is a 128GB drive, the write amplification seems absurdly high and will kill the drive within a year.
Is there anything I can do to avoid this pathological usage?
Log files, swap files and any application/Windows service with large write behaviour have been moved to a separate drive. No drive benchmarks have been run in months. Wiper has been run.
