I'm putting this question here in Memory as it's sort of related, hope that's OK.
I have an old 250gb drive (Samsung SP2504C), 7400 rpm, SATA-300 (3gb/s) with NCQ, 8.9ms access time, only has 8m cache (I notice that modern HDD drives have more like 64mb).
I'm thinking about using it as a drive purely for a page file (GTA V is very heavy on swap file and causing stuttering, sigh). Considering its age and limitations, is this actually worth doing? Or is it a case that having a page file on a second physical drive on a different channel will give performance boost despite it being a bit old and slow?
Thx for help
