Virtual Memory Question

[iwani88]

So today i bought a new hdd and a ssd for the os! And i used to had 2 small laptop hdd (500gb each), and now i have a bunch of space just there (2 hdd 500gb 1hdd 1T and 1 ss 240gb). Would be worth it using one hdd (500gb one) 100% as virtual memory?

No. Not unless you don't have much ram, HDD are SLOW

Depending on how much ram you have you may not even need any virtual memory. However if you need it place it on the faster of the mechanical drives.

Then it's not a good idea.
