Page File

Can the page file in Win 7 be located on a drive other than the one with the operating system on it? I have a 64gb SSD C: disk for the OS and it is getting low on space so I'd like to move the page file to a 256gb SSD that I have FSX installed on or a 1.5TB mechancial disk (WD Black) that I have for misc stuff.

 

Edit: The page file is 16gb, so would free up a good chunk of my 64gb SSD

Yes, you'll get a warning it cant save a dump or something to that effect but other than that, shouldn't be a problem.

For a majority of users, changing/disabling the page file is a placebo for FS performance. There are extremely limited cases where it would make an impact.

Is that a one time warning, or will it pop up intermittently? I'd like to put it on my SSD FSX drive because it would be fast.

 

Edit: I'm not looking to improve performance, just free up space on my C: drive

As your using an SSD drive and have plenty of RAM, you can disable the page file completely.
