Turn off the page file on your hard drive.
You might want to skip disabling the page file on your slower drives. With 32GB of RAM, the need for a disabled page file is likely minimal. Keep the page file active on your SSDs for better performance. For your setup—M.2 drive and two SATA SSDs—enable the page file only on the fastest SSD to optimize speed.
Sure, I hope this matches the system you're using. Or would you prefer the second quickest option?
Some suggest avoiding use on low write endurance drives, but it's usually best to leave it alone. The page file helps prevent crashes and manages caching. When folks mention a slow drive here, they usually refer to an HDD. Since you have all SSDs, just let Windows handle things.
Hey! I'm sorry if the post wasn't clear, but there is actually one HDD. I wouldn't normally alter it from the default settings, but there is a lot of testimony that it reduces stuttering. If I wanted to disable it on the HDD, would you recommend only enabling it on the fastest SSD (my system has 3 in total). Thanks!
By default, the page file resides solely on the storage device where Windows was installed.
