    when uploading files to cloud, does it create any temp files in system drive?

    only my system drive is SSD and all other storage drives are spinning HDD

    when uploading files to cloud from the storage drive (HDD), not the system drive, in which the cloud PC client is installed on the system drive (SSD), in that case, during uploading, would it create any temporary file that writes/reads to and from the SSD?

    i.e C: (System drive that is SSD where win 10 is installed )
    D: (files to upload that is traditional HDD)

    PC client of the cloud service (Installed to the C：）


    Because I know any SSD write/read will count and shorten SSD's life....

    Unless you're synchronizing TB of data per day (actual sync's - not just the changed file parts...) and using nand cycles counted in DWPD (drive writes per day); don't even worry about it (seriously).

    Especially if you've OP'd by 33% or greater and have an SSD that is 1TB or larger.

    I still use PerfectDisk (v14) Professional on all my storage subsystems today.

    With an SSD based system, running a customized PD SmartPlacement run once a month for 'normally' used systems and up to once or twice a week for my heavily used systems keeps my systems fast and responsive.

    This is even with systems with Dropbox installed and synchronizing Outlook PST files (~20GB - ~25GB each) daily.

    What the (min) 33% OP'ing does is effectively lower WA (Write Amplification) by bypassing the Read/Modify/Write dance the SSD and the controller is otherwise forced to do. And defragging with PD14Pro (occasionally) keeps the platforms as responsive as they can be. In my recent run in November on many of my systems there were files with over 14K and some even 28K additional fragments which were reduced to 0, 1 or 2 with a single run of PD. That was very noticeable improvement in how responsive the system felt - even with SSD's that boast single digit ms access times (when multiplied by 1'ooo's of fragments - they're effectively at HDD levels...).

    Btw, you spelled it fine. :)
