    What's wrong with a pagefile on SSD? That's where it ought to be. Sequential reads and writes (which is how the pagefile is used) is lightening fast. If you got it, use it. My SSD is over two years old and still shows 99% life. I can live with that wear and tear to get the biggest bang for the buck out my SSD. Next to more RAM, a SSD is perfect for a pagefile. And, I'm still getting a 7.9 out of it on WEI. Use it or loose it! :)

    Hibernation is a different story. It too is sequential but it's not like it needs to be fast. Personally, I don't use it and save the disk space. If I'm not going to be on my PC for several hours, I shut it down.

    What program do you use to show that percentage?

    Thanks,

    My reading show 100% on SSD, but no percentages on other drives - just "good."
    Does the percentage show on your other drives?

    I keep everything on my SSD except backup.
    Installation date. 5/16/2011
    I have no idea why people worry about using their SSD.

    No. HDD are different. There's no Wear Leveling on HDDs which is the basis of the useful life on SSDs. On HDDs you'll get Good, Caution or Bad depending on sector health.
