[QUOTE="Digerati, post: 911533, member: 59833"] With today's SSDs, I don't worry about endurance. It is important to note that reads have negligible impact on endurance. Typical use involves write once/read many action. And with today's SSDs, which don't suffer anything close to the write limits first generation SSDs did, along with their TRIM and wear leveling features, typical users will retire their computers long before their SSDs reach those write limits. This is why more and more data centers are using SSDs for their higher priority data. It is also why SSDs and Page Files are made for each other (source: [url=https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/e7/2009/05/05/support-and-qa-for-solid-state-drives/]Support and Q&A for Solid-State Drives[/url] and scroll down to, "[i]Frequently Asked Questions, Should the pagefile be placed on SSDs?[/i]" While the article is getting old and was written for Windows 7, it applies to Windows 10 too and even more so today).
