Should I disable pagefile on SSD?

[nokturrduk84]

Some say it's damaging SSD & should be disabled. So, is it true? Should I?

no. unless your willing to move the pagefile to a secondary mechanical drive.
windows needs a pagefile no matter how much ram you have so turning it off completely will have a negative effect at some point...
so if your worried about prematurity damaging your ssd then move it over to your d: drive if you have 1.

I don't know, one guy on forums says, I should turn off pagefile on ssd, it will damage it. He says 3 months used ssd will be like 1 years ssd if pagefile is enabled. He said after 4 month with pagefile his ssd had 4tb reads...

Well 4TB in 4 month is a lot, but not unrealistic, the computer I'm using now has run for about 2 years and I have 17TB writes, it is my work computer that run 10 hours a day and I'm a heavy user using serval virtuel machines on my computer.

But still you don't need to worry. SSDs last a lot longer than you think, this test http://techreport.com/review/27909/the-ssd-endurance-experiment-theyre-all-dead show the SSDs to last about 1PB writes and the good ones lasted for 2,5PB the newner samsung 3dnand should last even longer.

But if you say the SSD will last for 1PB and one TB writes a month, like the guy you talk of, the SSD will still last for 41.7 years.
All this talk of fear of SSD durability is overrated

like i said mate if your worried about your ssd then move the pagefile over to your mechanical drive.

All right, then I'll leave it like it is now, enabled. Thx

I see you have 16GB of RAM. just cut the PF down to 1 or 2 GB, it will be enough for anything but still not produce complaints by Photoshop and like programs that insist on PF.

I don't understand why should I reduce it?
I work in Photoshop & Illustrator daily. Will it affect better these programs if I reduce it?

You don't HAVE to reduce it but it's a compromise for those worried about SSD usage and wear. I do it solely to spare some space.
