My problem is simple: I have an SSD and i love it (850 PRO 128gb), but i'm doing my best to reduce all writes to it, and i've done well so far (0.4TB written since i bought it in february 10th)...
To reduce all possible writes to it, i disabled the pagefile completely (i've noticed that my 8GB is plenty for my one-program-at-a-time style of computing and gaming), but recently GTA V proved me otherwise, giving me warnings if i dared to open anything else with the game opened.
So i re-enabled the pagefile for my storage drive (where i store GTA V and other big games), which is my D Drive. Thing is, i've seen that my SSD's total bytes written has been going up by 0.01 TB every 2-3 days, which is much faster than it did before.
Here's my current pagefile setting:

So, is it possible that enabling the pagefile on my HDD could be causing writes to my SSD?
I know you might say that 0.01TB/2 days is a very low wear rate, but if i can make it lower, i will.
