Move the page file to a mechanical drive. With a decent amount of memory
installed it won't be used that much.

That is an interesting debate ...
I currently have page file of separate HDD to OS .... to avoid HDD RW
contention.
However the recommendation from those that know their onions say that if
you have OS on an SSD then you should put the paging file on that SSD ..

Or as an alternative put in on a USB3 flash drive ...
However they also add that if you have more than 8GB of RAM you don't
need a paging file anyway
