Is it normal that Windows’s automatic SSD optimisation / re-trim sometimes generates a lot of writes? in c/datahoarder@selfhosted.forum

[–] Sopel97@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You're concerned about 20GBs a day, really?

I am sure that it’s not because of another program or Windows updates.

there is literally no other way

TRIM doesn't write to the drive. It's a completely different operation.

Best way to store audio recordings? in c/datahoarder@selfhosted.forum

This should be only like 25GB (at 256kbps). Have multiple HDDs/SSDs with copies. Backup to cloud. Don't bother with optical media unless you have a BluRay writer already.
