Pagefile placement on system booting from SSD
When I retired (23 weeks ago) I bought a PC that would probably last me the rest of my life. So I've ended up with a quad-core system with 16Gb RAM, a 128Gb SSD C: drive and a fast 1Tb D: drive.
I just discovered that I have an 18Gb C:\pagefile.sys and started wondering about the pros and cons of having this paging file on my SSD C: drive.
Given that I have 16Gb RAM, I could probably get away with no page file at all. I could certainly manage with the pagefile entirely on the "traditional" D: drive.
Are there any guidelines on pagefile placement in the SSD era?
