File exists on two storage devices
Assuming D isn't your main drive... no need for the page file there.
Mention that using two page files might boost performance since Windows can handle them at the same time. It's also wise to store it on a different drive from the operating system. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previo...dfrom=MSDN
The details come before the rise of high-speed NVMe storage. I wouldn’t assume Windows 10/11 acts identically to older versions like 7, since this discussion seems focused on HDDs. Linux distributions have evolved their swap management over time, often favoring swapping to compressed memory before resorting to disk usage. I only set up a swapfile on my server to boost RAM access for caching. Your approach is missing the point—part of why a fast boot drive matters is the pagefile’s role. The quicker the drive spins, the smoother your experience when handling paging or reading data back into memory.
Yes, NVMe offers significant speed improvements. This guidance appears more current: the article explains how to choose suitable page file sizes for 64-bit Windows versions. Essentially, systems favor using compressed memory even as storage speeds increase.
