Setting of page file for an SSD drive recommendation
In setting the page file for a normal hard drive (By normal I mean non-SSD) I agreed with those who said to NOT disable the paging file. One such site was Lifehacker. Years on, on pages where they agree with me, as in Lifehacker that you should NOT disable the page file, they are saying to set the page file to such and such BUT now they are adding 'unless you have an SSD drive.
Now I know to some degrees why SSD drives are the different, not to defrag it for ex. but should I now disable the page file? Really? I would need a really good argument (or 2, 3) for me to do so. Having said this however I would perhaps feel more comfortable in setting a minimum instead.
My specs are:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
12 GB RAM
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO, 256G (of which only 232GB are useable according to what I see in My Computer)
CPU: Intel i5 760 2.80GHZ
Thank you
