So I am running Windows 10 home on my system and I currently have 3 hard drives installed. Samsung 850 evo 128gb ssd, and two 2tb Seagate hard drives. I don't remember when but at some point my pagefile settings got changed off the windows system managed setting and I think it maybe be causing me issues now when trying to run Realbench stress test. Guess my question is do I need to set the pagefile to system managed on all 3 drives or should I only have it set on like one drive. Right now I think it's set on only one drive (one of the Seagate drives and it's on system managed and that only gives it roughly about 2gb of pagefile if I remember correct.
 
Solution
By default, page file goes only on system disk. You can change the location but can't spread it over multiple disks. As it can do most on SSD (because it's fastest), it's better to keep it there. If you want to set it manually, set it to size 1 to 1.5 times of physical RAM installed.
