Samsung Magician: Total Bytes Written

[techne]

In the "Disk Drive > Drive Information" section of Samsung Magician we find how many bytes were written in the SSD (Total Bytes Written).

I suppose that Samsung Magician counts the total of bytes written on a hardware level. I mean, the "Total Bytes Written" is never zeroed (no matter how many times the SSD was partitioned and formatted.)

This is something that seems pretty obvious, but having it confirmed will not do any harm.

Yes, it is how many bytes written to the NAND chips.
