Your AMD Radeon drivers could be secretly destroying your SSD and you might not even notice

A bug in AMD’s graphics drivers is causing some SSDs to constantly write data in the background, even when the PC is idle.

Some users have reported write speeds of up to 5 MB/s. If that continues around the clock, it could mean as much as 432 GB of writes per day.

The issue appears to be linked to atieclxx.exe, a background process included with AMD’s graphics software.

AMD has acknowledged the problem and is reportedly testing a fix, but there’s no release date yet.
