PSA: Your SSD at 80% health is completely fine

My 500GB Samsung 850 Evo from 2015 is still at 92%. Don't know what some of you are doing to your drives to get the health so low. Are you constantly copying and deleting files all day?

Had to buy a tpm module for my B450 Aorus motherboard, finishing the installation was already a battle and the TPM is not fully functional but that's another matter.
