hIOmon SSD Performance Monitor - Understanding desktop usage patterns.

[Ao1]

EDIT: I admit, I ran out of memory the other day.

That is the only reason I can think that MS would still recommend using the pagefile. What I could see over 1 1/2 hours is exactly as MS describe for why you should use the pagefile with SSD. A predominance of small random reads and large sequential writes, which an SSD can handle very well. The bottom line however is that RAM can hangle it better and it saves data being pointlessly writtten to the SSD.

I’ve left the pagefile.sys script running so later today I will post the Excel summary sheet for anyone that is interested.

On a separate issue here is a summary of Anvil’s monitoring.
