I use the term pagefile and swap file interchangeably. I thought they were
just newer and older names for the same thing. The classic form of
inovation by MS where they use a different name for the same thing.
I guess that is so they can tell what version (etc?) you are using.
I used to keep my
I looked up the life of an Intel X25-E: Extreme SATAII SSD drive
in the Intel Product Quick Reference Matrix Q3 2009.
This info is a little old, burt might be fine for early adopters.
This time frame only had 32G + 64G in one form factor.
Write Endurance: Up to 1 petabyte (PB) of random writes
The page file should go on the SSD:
Should the pagefile be placed on SSDs?
Yes. Most pagefile operations are small random reads or larger
sequential writes, both of which are types of operations that SSDs
handle well.
In looking at telemetry data from thousands of traces and focusing on
Yes. When I was weighing getting one 160GB G2 vs two 80GBs and stripe them,
I opted for the later since the price was nearly the same. I don't really
think it gets me that much better real world performance, but it does help
on sequential writes, which is one area the Intel SSDs are a bit weak.
One major disadvantage, you can't use TRIM on the drives and I'm
guessing the raid will increase latency a bit.

I wish they said if that was internal info from MS, if they worked there,
or anything at all... etc.
They make a good case. Plus, why have one and not use it if you can.

Rick,
I have no reservations about where the pagefile/swapfile lives. I was
only following the current logic of using SSD's only as boot devices
that would mostly be read from post initial OS install.
Eli's recent share regarding pagefile/swapfile actions lead me to pretty
much ignore this
I'm curious Bobby, since you don't game what do you need a GTX 285 for.
Are you fold...@home or doing some Cuda stuff? My hard drive score is
4.8 and memory is 7.4 by the way.

I'm really enjoying my 5770. Acording to my Kill A Watt the idle power
went from 150 to 115 and loaded 235 to 205. Pretty good drop and a lot
faster to boot.

Whoops my bad I forgot it was you Anthony that didn't game. If I might
make a suggestion, why not try out a first person online shooter called
Left4Dead II. It's a lot of fun playing with people especially with a
mic so you can talk with each other.

Yes, I am aware that it does not currently support TRIM, and I knew that
going in. Frankly, calling it a major disadvantage isn't really
accurate--the Intel drives have extremely good used performance without it.
Any increase in latency is going to be tiny. My 4k random I/O numbers are
still quite

This being the HWG I can't believe no one here has gone there, so what're

around longer, b/c I assume it was easier to get computer games to do 3d;

I think we have the same tv, though maybe not the same size.
Still, I just don't see the point in 3D TVwho wants to wear stoopid
classes all the timeand I don't see it for sports either...perhaps
gamers though...they are a different bred...

Yeah, heard about this on Twitter several days ago and did it. Takes a
bit of getting used to because it's just one long list of everything
that you have to scroll through.

I very much see the point. I had an experience many many years ago at 6
Flags over Texas at a theater called The Chevy Theater. Don't know to
this day if it was affiliated with Chevrolet or not. Like I said I was
very young and my senses were very alive. Anyway, it showed a film shot
in 70mm
There seems to be lots of confusion or differing ideas.
Since I don't have one and will not have one soon
I think I'll wait till things shake out.
I did not mean to put words in your mouth, maybe
reservations was the wrong phrase.
