Just got a Samsung 870 EVO SSD and the software they provide permits you to overprovision these drives -- it looks like it reserves about 10% over the factory amount of space reserved for that purpose. If my drive already has more than 20% free, is there any reason to overprovision? My (limited) understanding is that this is basically a way to make sure there is sufficient free space on the drive to keep it functioning optimally, and it doesn't matter whether that space is set aside by overprovisioning. Is that correct?
