How to Optimize your SSD Boot Drive
2c
Change your Page File Settings
The nature of the page file means that your OS is going to be constantly
writing to it and while we don’t need to worry about fragmentation on an
SSD like we would on a traditional hard drive we do need to take into con-
sideration the impact constant writes to the page file will have on the life-
span of your SSD.
Feel free to experiment with different settings; what works best on your
system might be different, and you can always go back to an earlier setting.
The steps continued:
6. Select your secondary drive and click on “System managed
size”.
7. Click on “Set” then “OK”.
8. Reboot your computer and confirm that everything is where it
should be. The pagefile.sys is a system file so you won’t be
able to see it till you’ve changed your file view properties.
