Generally guides recommend you don't put the swap file on the SSD for 2 good reasons, Space and wear. If you have sufficient RAM the swapfile won't affect the performance significantly, but it does seriously increase the read/write operations and therefore reduce the lifespan of the drive. They should last many years but there's no need to shorten it. SSD's will eventually fail to write and become read only, it's just part of they way they work but they tell us in average usage it will take a very long time.
I have 8GB of RAM so it's really not important to me where the swapfile lives, but between that and my steam folder I could not have fitted windows on my SSD. I had to migrate Steam to the data drive and move the swap file. |
