    Paging file on an SSD?


    Is it a good idea to even use a paging file/virtual memory on an SSD? If i remember correctly, SSDs have a limit to how much is read and wrote to before they start to lose their holding ability.

    Page File

    Set minimum and maximum to a constant number as suggested by others, that will help reduce fragmentation on the drive coz of different page file sizing.

    Page file size?

    Certain programs require a page file to function. For example, the original Company of Heroes requires a page file larger than 768MB (I remember another game requiring a 1GB page file, but I don't recall its name). If you don't have any such programs, you can get by without a page file. Otherwise a 2GB page file should suit your needs. If you want a page file while preserving access speed and SSD life, you can pull shenanigans by putting a page file on a RAM disk.

    Paging file on an SSD?

    Page file size?

    CoH is a bit of an oddity as it has a built-in check for the presence of a pagefile. That wasn't very forward-thinking for a couple reasons, but I do understand their intention -- to prevent support calls and bad publicity. Luckily it was patched to support the option "-disablepagefilecheck".
