Hi,

As most of us suspect by now there is a huge amount of misinformation and well-meaning but misguided advice regarding SSDs floating around the internet.

The following helpful article debunks much of the nonsense by separating fact from fiction in a clear and sensible manner:

I always create a fixed page file on my HDD and delete the one on C. Although the article says writing to an SSD frequently won’t do any harm this is one action that doesn’t appear to affect W7 performance.
