need your advice on page file

[Guest Jane]

Hi all,

 

We always put page file in the seperate partition of the same disk as OS C.

Like: C: OS E: Page file. If we put the pagefile in the OS (big partition),

will it hurt performance? Is it better to put page file in the seperate

partition of the same disk as OS C than to put page file in the OS? Which way

is better?

 

Thank you.

Good practice to keep your pagefile on a different volume than the OS.

Hello,

 

the best in on a different controller than the system partition, to get a

maximum of I/O.

 

Not having a pagefile on the system volume prevent having memory dump, but

most server won't have BSOD :)

Else you can keep a very small pagefile on the boot volume, just to be able

to have a memory dump

If you only have one disk it is best to place the pagefile on the same

partition as the operating system. Do not put the pagefile on a disk

that is in a slaved relation to the operating system or on a data disk

that is heavily used. For best performance the pagefige should be

placed on a separate disk on a separate controller.
