I just build a new PC computer and am now tweaking my Samsung SSD 830 128GB setup.
I have read conflicting advice on turning off system restore as it can degrade the SSD over time, but would come in handy if you make a mistake. As a third alternative, I was thinking a win win solution might be to move the system restore location to my Seagate Barracuda 3TB HD. This way I will not degrade the SSD, and have access to system restore files if I make a mistake and need to back up to the last system restore point.
Any reasons that I should not do this? If no, can anyone tell me how to move system restore location to my HD.
While on the subject of SSD tweaks, I have also read conflicting advise on disabling Pagefile (FYI...I have 8MB of RAM). The reasons to disable it are it does not improve the performance of the SSD and gains a valuable 3 to 4GB of real estate on your SSD. However, I have also read that disabling it can cause blue screen. To address the blue screen option, I have read one should lower the pagefiles' min and max to 1GB. Again, I am thinking a win win would be to move the PageFile location to my HD Drive and leave the min and max as the default. I would appreciate any advise on this as well.
Thank you for your help in advance.
