Right Guys
I've read many for and against arguments to have a page file.
Now, from what i understand some people say that page file degrades an SSD due to the write cycles and therefore shortens its life.
Some people suggest moving the page file onto a mechanical drive.
Some say to minimise the page file allocation when you have 4Gb plus Memory.
Now, I'm using Win8.1 with a Samsung 120Gb SSD EVO and have 8Gb (2x4Gb) PC3-12800 DDR3 running in dual channel.
At the moment Im letting Windows manage my page file. I do a lot of Photoshop work which does eat up my memory (and therefore I have set PShop to use no more than 75% in PShop preferences)! Does make me wonder if I need 16Gb.....
What do people on this forum say about page files and any opinions on how I should be managing it on my machine...?
