TL;DR of the article and its coverage, generated automatically.

AMD's External Events Utility may be writing to SSDs constantly, even when idle.

Claim: one user lost 1% SSD health monthly for 16 months. Unconfirmed.
AMD: PC Gamer reports fix in 26.11.1, no date given.
Workaround: stop AMD EEU in services.msc. Not a clean fix.
