I just upgraded the SSD from PCIE3 to PCIE4 in my XPS 9510. I've always over-provisioned my drives for longevity and performance. How important is that in modern drives. The new drive is a SK Hynix P41 2TB. I believe the original capacity of 1.86TB (down from 2 TB due to 1024 vs. 1000 MB/GB) and then down more to 1.82TB is due to Windows Recovery partition. I believe most drives now have internal overprovisioning but not sure how to find that for my drive. Right now I carved otu 182 GB (10%) and left unallocated as overprovisioned. Recommendations on whether this is good/worth it, or something else?
