I leave it alone, even on two of my three systems that have SSDs. The point of an SSD is to be a faster drive than HDDs, right? So I don't understand the rationale behind using SSDs for as little as possible. | My System Specs |

So I don't understand the rationale behind using SSDs for as little as possible. Absolutely right. I do not understand either why people want to save their SSDs for beyond the year 2022. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops OS Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8 CPU from 1.6GHz Duo to i7 Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP w2207 Keyboard with trackball - no mices Mouse Trackball mice Hard Drives 5x HDD, 7x SSD, 12x Externals Internet Speed DSL 6000 |

I would not disable it completely. Set it to 1GB - that should suffice. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops OS Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8 CPU from 1.6GHz Duo to i7 Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP w2207 Keyboard with trackball - no mices Mouse Trackball mice Hard Drives 5x HDD, 7x SSD, 12x Externals Internet Speed DSL 6000 |

The virtual memory pagefile is still important, no matter how much physical RAM you have. Windows and most other OS's use it to offload unused sections of memory in the background continuously. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Homebuilt OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition Motherboard Asus M4A785-M Memory 8GB DDR2 Corsair PC2-6400 Graphics Card AMD Radeon HD 6870 Monitor(s) Displays LG W2343 23" monitor Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 (1080p) Keyboard Logitech 920 Illuminated Keyboard PSU OCZ-ZT750W Case Cooler Master Haf X Hard Drives system boot: Corsair Force 3 240GB.

You could disable it, but as mentioned, it's not even necessary. Set it as WHS said, and don't worry
