I recently installed a 1TB WD Black SN770 and have it over-provisioned (OP) by 10% (i.e. 10% of drive is unallocated). I’m just curious whether this still improves performance and longevity, or is the OP from the factory plenty? I believe the factory OP may already be 10% based on the fact that the drive shows total space of 931.50 GB (and 1TB = 1024 GB) If there is some benefit than I’ll leave it. If not, I might as well get the space back. Thanks.
