Certain versions of AMD's graphics card drivers contain a defect wherein the External Events Utility service process continuously generates a large volume of background SSD write operations that are difficult to detect. Prolonged operation will wear down SSD lifespan, with low-endurance, small-capacity QLC SSDs being particularly affected. Users have verified that this issue can be temporarily resolved by disabling the service or turning off the ReBAR feature in the BIOS. AMD has confirmed that the fault originates from the interaction between this service and Microsoft's PCIe filter driver, and is advancing validation testing of a fix patch, which will be included in subsequent driver versions as soon as possible.
