Yea you can remote the pagefiling from the SSD and put it on a normal Hard Drive. Do do so

Right click on Computer and Select Properties.

Click on Advanced system Settings on the upper left.

Click on Settings under performance

Click on the Advanced tab and the Change

If automatically manage paging file is checked uncheck it.

Then highlight your SSD (Most likely C Drive and click No Paging File and click Set.

A Warning will pop up just click ok

The select your Hard Drive and set it to System managed Size and then click Set.

Then ok out of everything and restart.

Another option is to turn it off completely, if you have enough ram. I have 16 gigs and pagefile is off. No problems at all for nearly 2 years.

Only downside to that is if you BSOD then you get no minidump
