AMD confirms bug causing excessive SSD wear

PCWorld reports that AMD has confirmed a bug in its AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition, specifically the AMD External Events Utility, which causes continuous excessive data writing to SSDs. Write speeds may reach up to 400 GB daily, leading to rapid SSD health decline across both Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems. AMD is expected to resolve the issue with driver version 26.11.1, and affected users should monitor disk activity in the meantime. If you've noticed your SSD filling up or experiencing heavy background activity lately, an ongoing bug in AMD's software might be to blame. The fault lies within AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition.
