I opened it 2 weeks ago to create an address, and then i did closed it, now i did opened it again to receive some eth, it happened in the night about 1oclock, since it is still syncing and since than geth have wrote 400GB on the c drive (an SSD with 25GB free space) and it doin it by 25-145MB/s speed. Does it neccessery to write 800GB data or there is some kind of a problem with it on my Win10PC?

During this geth is only receiving a few kb/sec from network.
