Data written

[NintendoFan]

This seems like a crazy amount of data to be written in only 12 days. Does anyone know what could be going on?

Look in the Console logs to see what might be going on.

I have been doing some more reading on kernel_task and it appears what you are seeing can be related to maybe an app that is doing a lot of writing to the disk. If you do any downloads it goes through the kernel_task from what I understand. Have you downloaded a lot of files or large files?

Interesting. Would that count data written to external drives?

I would assume so as all file writes go through kernel_task.
