Hello all. Im a bit confused on the preferred set up when it comes to using SSDs, mechanical drives, and how it all relates to page files as well.
I am looking to get a 2TB WD Black drive and a 256 840 Pro SSD. My plan was to use the SSD for my OS AND my applications, and the data to reside on the WD. (i should note I have some older WD black and green drives as well for additional data used less often).
I guess what Im wondering
1. Would it be better to maybe get two 128 SSDs, and have one for the OS and one for the Applications?
2. Where do I put the page file for windows? The SSD? Best to leave off the main OS drive?
3. I know this is getting into another topic but my new build will have 32gig of ram. Ive also read that a page file isnt necessary after 8gigs. Is this true?
Thanks all
