I have always had my PC set to automatically manage my pagefile. It knows how little and how much I need to keep my system stable, and it is constantly resizing it so that there are no unecessary writes.
First off, some will say take it off altogether or put it on your HDD, but?I prefer speed for a 7th year of SSD life instead of 6 years...
My only concern here is this is what Windows decides my pagefile should be:
minimum allowed: 16mb
maximum allowed: 1912mb
Currently Allocated: 8192mb
Why is my currently allocated page-file as large as my physical RAM when it recommends 1912mb. I'm not sure if I should leave it taking up 8gb of space
Was going to set a custom pagefile of 16mb min and 2gb max, but I get the warning that there will be no recovery functions if the pagefile is ever under 400mb. Also not crazy about splitting my pagefile up. 2gb on SSD and 4-6gb on HDD would sound okay, but pagefile performance would be slower with shared pagefiles between the faster SSD and slower HDD.
So, do I want to set the pagefile to 400mb/2-3gb and always have a larger minimum being written to, and the possibility of needing more than 2-3gb of allocated maximum, or let windows use the least amount of needed writes well optimized, but let it take up 8gb of space and possibly write large amounts of data at times?
Nearly all times I've attempted a custom pagefile, I've always received odd side-effects and hiccups.
Any suggestions here?
