AMD users are reporting a misfiring utility is eating SSD health by 1% a month. AMD says a fix is on the way for its GPU drivers
No rush. SSDs are cheap as chips right now, eh?
Recent reports have emerged from AMD GPU users who have noticed a concerning decline in their SSD health, with some experiencing a monthly loss of 1%. AMD has acknowledged the issue, stating that a bug in its Adrenalin driver utility is responsible for constant, silent writes to the SSD, which could potentially shorten its lifespan.
The bug has been present since Adrenalin Edition 26.7.1, released in June this year. AMD representatives have confirmed that the issue will be addressed in a future driver release, expected later this month with the release of Adrenalin 26.11.1. Users are urged to monitor their SSD health closely and exercise caution until the issue is resolved.
