Let's say I have a 10 GB SSD and filled it with 1 GB of data. As I understand it that 1 GB of data gets moved around the drive by the controller as part of its wear levelling mechanism. Which means the 1 GB data is copied elsewhere on the drive and then the original is deleted. My question is...

I look at it this way. On a fresh Windows install, you're already overprovisioning roughly 100 GB dynamically and that gets smaller as you fill up the drive. Whatever free space you have is the overprovisioning so I don't even bother with it.

Since erasing data is what wears out SSD and the controller also does its wear-levelling by rewriting and erasing data, is it better I don't erase my data even though I don't need it anymore?

If you're that serious with gaming then go ethernet and wired keyboard and mouse. You'll get more consistent performance. With wireless it's constantly fluctuating depending on your air traffic. If you run a microwave for popcorn it will slow your connection speed down for example. Also, get...

My older Netgear R6700 has three antennas and says it does simultaneous dual band 3x3 Tx/Rx. So it can transmit or receive three signals at once. Isn't that essentially what MU-MIMO is doing? Is the industry creating new terms as a marketing hype for something that had already existed for...
