I test and review XTAR's 1.5 volt AA and AAA rechargeable lithium batteries to find out if they are better than Nimh or alkaline batteries. These provide true 1.5 volts output during operation than Nimh batteries which matches that of alkaline batteries.

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?
