Right, I said probably disable page file. In my world that means I would disable the page file and go about running all my programs, even simultaneously, and see if I crash. There may be the odd accounting program or something that reserves a big block of ram. This is the type of thing that can burn you. Not used ram so much as 'reserved' ram.

If nothing crashes.. we're golden. If something crashes we go from there. On 'my' computer I just learn what works best. It doesn't have to work seamlessly for every other dummy because there's only one dummy at the controls.

Remember that ssds are really good at accessing information. RAM is better at it but HDDs are much worse. So, in order of best to worst for your pagefile you would; a) have enough ram that you don't need a page file, b) use the ssd and let it eat that space (hey, that's why I have an ssd), or c) put the pagefile on your spinning disk and just hope it doesn't get used and/or eat the slow access times if it does.

I found some games demand a pagefile, whether it makes sense to have one or not. Go without the pagefile unless you encounter a game that requires it. I've read in numerous places to put pagefile on a regular drive and leave it on the SSD. I think since the pagefile is mostly read (and maybe sequentually) you can just leave a minimal pagefile on the SSD of 1GB. There's conflicting advice everywhere so just take what bits are needed for your situation and don't accept them all as commandments from God.

Peace. Love. Happiness. Texting.
