Retards from reddit isn't news. A bunch of txt log files being written isn't fucking news or anything to be worried about. How the fuck are you retards falling for this shit?

also this reminds me of the Steam Input bug where your inputs cause FPS drops and it was traced to some logfile being maxed out. nonfree shitware sucks sadly. only Linux can save us.

>>725743427
huh? I'd say shitting up your computer with meaningless noise isn't great. to be fair, Windows brought this on itself because event viewer is some bizarre XML logging facility that's painful to use with their APIs.
On UNIX systems you always have syslog to just throw random dogshit to and with systemd, /dev/stdout ends up being sent to journald/syslog for you.

I wish people knew how Windows worked in general.

>>725743493
you probably need to set some registry key or environment variable to enable "trace" output like the Redditor has experience. it could be done by god only knows what though.

How long until everything combined breaks my SSD within a year?

the fix has been on blurbuster forum for a while now.

you can read it yourself bro...
it just finds some asm that tries to call some win32 function, and NOOPs them.

>>725744401
Windows itself is whatever. the problem is nonfree 3rd party software like AMD's that shits it up. I recommend everyone use WHQL only drivers that Windows Update would ship, but that comes with some "performance" issues. This is one of the reasons I went with Linux in the first place, because I can just patch out or isolate bad software.

>>725743007 (OP)
I don't have this problem on my Arch GNU/Linux machine btw.

meanwhile on Arch Linux btw, I don't have this problem at all

Damn why didn't my 2014 ssd die yet, I think its a fake news.

Welp, might as well trash your pc now that you found out about the 6kb of hidden data that was written because something is slightly unoptimized under certain conditions

>>725743087

I have a 7800X3D but I don't have any of the folders in:
>C\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\amdfendr.inf_
>C:\Windows\System32\AMD\EEUDumps
>any EEUDumps folder anywhere
and I don't have AMD External Events Utility Service in the taskmanager services either.

So surely it must be a GPU-only thing, and something that gets installed with the AMD GPU drivers.

>>725745748
same
doesn't appear to be a cpu issue
redditor probably didn't uninstall his amd gpu drivers correctly

Lack of tmpfs has been a disaster to Microsoft Windows.

>>725746323
yep, I got my PhD in "text logs don't ruin SSDs"

>>725745748
appears to be the case

>>725746492
So you don't, got it.

i just opened the task manager and tried resizing its window
there was one spike in ssd usage and that was it, the ssd was utilized less than 1%

One of the apps I used updated so that they save their state on like a 5 minute timer even if it hasn't changed and I've been paranoid about it ever since. I just replaced my NVME this year which isn't helping my nerves.
This shit will add up over the span of years of uptime. Hardware faulting sooner because of suboptimal software is gross.

>>725746623
But anon if you resize that window 100 times that 1% will equal 100%!! That's all of your precents!!

>people ITT tracing logs that will eat up CPU cycles and write meaningless telemetry to their FS
wtf?

This dude was so embarrassed by this post he deleted his reddit account by the way.

>people ITT tracing logs that will eat up CPU cycles and write meaningless telemetry to their FS
>wtf?

Wait until you Nvidtard brainlets realize how much "write cycles" just operating idly Windows uses up. Literally every single mincrosecone keeping your OS working is something written and deleted on your SSD/HDD.

>>725747457
This is why I keep my PC turned off at all times

>>725747250
lol

>>725743007 (OP)
This post really outs the midwits
>OMG hundreds of SSDs writes

>>725747457
a lot of things do write cycles because the developers are a bunch of retards who can't code or because the spywares/backdoors
>>725746623
check the ssd, search CMD in search bar, then write WMIC then "diskdrive get status"

>>725747250
I had to check, that would be too good to be true.
It's still there.

>>725746925
just get an HDD as a second/third or even external drive and save the stuff you wanna keep there bro

i have this shit, should I do something about it?

>>725750561
Yes, delete system32.

>>725750561
Delete all AMD drivers, you wouldn't want your SSD cycles being wasted, bro. How else you gonna take it with you into the grave.

>>725750710
>>725750941
but that might hurt my pc
I dont think you guys are being totally real with me :(

>>725743007 (OP)
Are we witnessing a race to the bottom in the technology market?

>>725743007 (OP)
AMD are the good guys, chuds. Just accept it. :3

>>725745748
I just checked becuase I have a 7800X3D too, and I do have it despite using Nvidia GPUs since AMD GPUs were still ATI branded

Did you ever install the AMD Adrenalin package? Because I did (despite it only ever giving me one important update in the last 2 years) so maybe that's the culprit?

>>725751219
AMD is showing that the slow and steady tortoise will win the race against Intel's hare.

>>725753747
update: I only have 5 files in the EEUDumps folder, and all of them were last modified in 2024, so it looks like mine isn't constantly writing to that folder?

>>725745748
It's both in the case that you have an AMD CPU with an iGPU and you haven't shut it off in the UEFI. In that case you get into the situation where Windows installs drivers for it as part of the AMD chipset drivers and then you get the AMD external events utility onto your system to fuck with you.

>>725751219
>race to the bottom
this began the instant (((we))) started treating non-whites as humans

>>725743007 (OP)
I don't have an AMD folder in system32, and I don't have the External Events Utility despite having an AMD processor.

I did notice a similar problem when I play Diablo 2 though, it just writes these massive fucking logfiles that are gigabytes in size.

If you buy AMD GPU's you are either poor or stupid, check the steam hardware https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/videocard/

NO one outside poor people that can only afford used graphics card and using shit from the early 2020s use them, There is not a single 9060 XT, 9070 or 9070 XT

While it's not exactly ideal that it does that the amount of written data is very low.
Your other drivers do similar things.

On a related note: know that windows itself writes a LOT more data on the OS disk/partition even when "idle" because it's a piece of shit.

>>725743007 (OP)
this is some stupid amateur mistake, forgetting to remove needless logging

This reminds me of that time some random Russian claimed that Denuvo included with Dragon Age Inquisition would destroy your SSD in a matter of days, and this board at it up with zero proof.

>>725755520
Russians are credible and EA is not.

Stop being poor.

I have an Nvidia GPU, and an AMD CPU, and have two files with them last updated literally now.
Could it be due to me using the igpu for the second monitor? I disabled the amd events now, and see how it affects the overall experience.

>>725743007 (OP)
>windows filesystem
>service
Is this still an issue on Linux?

>>725743007 (OP)
Just checked my EeuDumps and last one if from 21/11/2024. No sign of constant writes like shown.

>>725755965
>igpu for the second monitor
Yes, the logs are about G-Sync so its related to GPU drivers

>>725755684

bro half this board is russian state actors posting disinformation and demoralization for money

only poors buy AMD gpus anyways

>>725746492

>>725744332
nta but opened the log in notepad and it became unresponsive, all file sizes of the logs started increasing in file explorer. holy fuck lmaooo

>>725744332
System32\DriverStore\FileRepository is a repo of old drivers that were replaced on your system.

Yes, disinfo on /v/ pays for my kids' college
Thanks autists

It's almost like BlueSky retards also visit /v/

Are huge logfiles bad for HDDs?

>>725746925
HDDs and SSDs are not for long term storage, they are for files being accessed and modified frequently. If you want to store stuff long term, get yourself either a DVD burner and a stack of archival-grade gold DVDs, or an industrial tape backup deck and some of those multi-TB tapes. Either one will out-live even the best taken care of HDD/SSD. Properly stored, the archival-grade gold DVDs will out-live you. I've been burning all the cartoons, anime, movies, tv shows, music, and videogames I want to keep to archival-grade gold DVDs myself. After all, who knows if it will be this easy to download all the stuff I want in the future?

>>725757253

oh no not 10kb of information being logged every minute or two, now my SSD is going to last me 19.2 years instead of 19.4
