Dual-SSD laptop - should I move the pagefile to the non-boot SSD?

0

I have 2 SSDs in my laptop of equal (256GB) size. After reading this Technet article I'm tempted to do what it suggests and move my paging file to the other (non-boot) drive. Is this worth doing? Are there any consequences I should be aware of or should I just leave things as they are?

How much RAM does your laptop have? You could possibly shrink the pagefile if you have enough RAM. – Cfinley – 2014-06-14T22:09:12.480

It's got 8GB ... – 5arx – 2014-06-15T20:58:02.400

Do you want to move the pagefile to prolong the life of the ssd or to speed up things? – MauroG – 2014-06-16T01:21:43.407

As it says in the article, I would split the pagefile to both SSD's. For most users, I would say you could shrink it to about a GB per SSD and be fine. – Cfinley – 2014-06-16T13:06:03.120
