The pagefile can be set on a per-drive basis. You can keep the pagefile off the SSD and allow it on the HDD. It is recommended to keep a small pagefile at all times for crashdumps and other information.

With 8 or > gigs of Ram, I always set the page File min and max to the same value, 1024 mb.
This can be located on either the SSD (which I do), or set to the HDD. Unless you are pushed for space, the 1 Gig Page file on the SSD is Not much of a problem - It's that windows will set it to about 12 Gigs. So setting Min/mak both to 1024 mb will STILL save 11 gigs of space.

And Yes, You can set to zero, But there are a few programs that will bulk if page file = 0 even if not needed.

I have a 120ssd. I disabled hybernation and locked virtual memory at 0. The computer worked well enough but a software that my office uses did not work right. So I set the pagefile to 1gb and everything has been great. This makes my total windows install about 10gb.
