[SOLVED] Pagefile on SSD or M.2

I currently have a 40 GB SSD that is dedicated to Virtual Memory. I recently purchased 2 970 EVO PLUS M.2s that I will move my OS to and I'm wondering if I should move the VM. I also have 64 Gigs of memory.

If I move the VM, will performance when switching between apps improve?
Will it shorten the life of the 970's?

If I do move the VM, are there any suggestions on what to do with the 40 GB SSD?

  1. It makes zero performance difference.
  2. With 64GB RAM, the pagefile is rarely accessed. So it makes zero lifespan difference, no matter what drive it lives on.
  3. What else could you do with a 40GB drive? What do you use the system for?
