Move the page file to a mechanical drive. With a decent amount of memory

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 ..


I've always kept the page file on a different drive from the OS and the
advice I've seen with respect to SSDs is to continue to do that.
However, with plenty of RAM installed I think it's of no real
consequence either way as the page file should only rarely be used.
