Asus Maximus Xi Formula Latest: avi8tir 19 minutes ago. Should I put paging files on each physical drive? Windows will handle multiple page files by maintaining a table where each memory page is located.
Where a page winds up, it depends largely on which volume was least active when it got paged out. You should ideally have your page files on your fastest drive. However, if you have a lot of RAM and rarely use your page files, you may want to put it on a mechanical hard drive to save space on an SSD. Was this reply helpful?
Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Joined Jun 4, Messages 3, Things like paging and virtual memory are a must. I decided to keep a gig pagefile on the SSD for compatibility's sake and in case something like Firefox goes berzerk. The writes were frequent but tiny. Even with 32 gigs of RAM, an app can break bad and the pagefile is needed to restore an usable memory allocation scheme.
However, for spinner drives, I like to avoid fragmentation and slightly improve performance by identifying whether the first or last sectors are fastest usually the "leftmost" area and setup a 10 gig partition formatted in FAT I then set a gig pagefile there.

Is your OS Win2k? RogueTrip 2[H]4U. Joined Feb 22, Messages 2, After getting volmgr errors in event viewer i decided to turn pagefile on. Set the 16min-2gb max. That way i it wont use all the space all the time. If you set min-max the same does the pagefile pre allocate the size and just pad the file out. I would rather allow it more space on the drive to help lower cell wear.
I never let my samsung ssd make a 8gb unallocated space cause why not. ZoeTietkens n00b. Joined May 27, Messages 4. I had always heard that using a fixed size to the page file heard various amounts based on RAM and then defragging the drive would help performance.
Of course that was back in olden days when 8gb or more was pretty much unheard of. B00nie [H]F Junkie. Joined Nov 1, Messages 9, All those tweaks with the pagefile stem from the times when you had Gb of ram and only a spinning slow hdd at sata 1 or sata 2 speeds.
Back then it really made a difference if your pagefile was robbing spin time and sata bandwith. Sorry, was that too arrogant there at the end with the paying attention thing? You can spread the page file across disks, and you still won't beat the performance of a RAMdisk simply because the first has throughput and latency measured in megabytes and microseconds while the second uses gigabytes and nanoseconds.
A RAMdisk will have already completed several read and write transactions long before the disk even queues to a single request. So, which is it? Joined Mar 8, Messages It won't grow in size, it'll remain static at MB in size but it'll be there..
Yea, well, Tiberian, you ain't telling me much I don't already know. Have already tried pagefile on each HDD before years ago. Gamers are tweakers so of course I have tried all kinds of tricks to get better performance over the years.
Telling people to leave it alone as if they are children is condescending and not wanted or appreciated. If I mess things up I know how to fix it and experimenting is how people learn.
MY PC is not a toaster. Geez, if I wanted to be labeled so much and so often I wouldn't get on the Internet, go figure. As stated, "leave it alone" is a philosophy - it doesn't mean you can't use the computer or the OS, it just means if you're not that inclined then leave it alone because it really does work best when it's allowed to do what it's written to do by design.
Framerate is life, as we old Quake players used to say, but with respect to a game in action your storage media ain't really gonna make that much of a difference - note that I said when the game is in action meaning when it's running.
Take the advice, don't take the advice, it's up to you but really, don't lambast those that at least try to provide accurate and useful information - that would end up having you labeled as dismissive and disrespectful when someone with more knowledge and experience is offering up info that you came around asking for. And with that, I leave you alone. It's not so much what you said but the way you said it I took issue with.
But it's ok and thanks for your opinion oh great PC guru.. What do you think of this app? Never used it but looks like it could be useful if the claims are true.
