Relevant System Info:

  • Win10Pro
  • Samsung QVO 860 2TB
  • 6 HDDs

I have recently calculated my system is writing approximately 1.9GB per hour to my new SSD and I wish to log which programs are the most consuming. I do not wish to simply see the realtime data speeds reported by task manager, most programs are not constantly running, I wish to see a report, for example, a weekly chart.

I run several servers, occasionally from the main drive and wish to see specific programs which write high amounts over time. I see programs such as "Storage Reports Management" available for Windows Server, not Pro. Are there any reasonable alternatives?

I'm not interested in specific data or recovery, simply throughput logs.

  • Welcome to Software Recommendations! I've slightly rephrased your question, as our site doesn't cover howtos or "best approaches" (we focus on recommending software). Good luck!

  • Well, still no answer to a software solution, but I found the data drain. Turns out a very large daily server backup of 20+GB was driving the average way up. Don't let your files get out of hand, kids. Looking for an incremental solution now.

Uncheck the boxes for registry,processes,networking, and you should be left with file system.

    Would need one with persistence as the processes would close and reopen, if I am correct, both of these programs will restart at 0 each time.
