Although many folks like the extra speed, the operating system, and the RAM/memory it uses prefer to have the page file on the same drive as the operating system.
Hope this helps.

Hello guys, I have an issue I can't quite figure out and would love your help.
I have a gaming PC that I built myself that is a few years old. It runs Windows 8.1 and had a Western Digital Black 1TB 7200RPM hard drive inside. I decided that I wanted to have my OS run off of a solid state while I use the HDD for Steam games. The computer was 100% stable before installing the SSD.
So I wiped the HDD, installed the SSD as the master drive and hooked up the HDD as the secondary drive. I installed Windows 8.1 on the SSD and all of its Windows updates as well. The OS is blazing fast now.
That is nice and all... but now I seem to randomly get BSOD memory management errors. I first thought that maybe a memory stick was going out, so I ran diagnostics on the memory and found no issues. I didn't have this issue prior to installing the SSD.
Anybody have any thoughts? I did recently change some settings for the SSD like turning off indexing, moving the page file to the HDD and preventing defragging on the SSD in hopes those tweaks would help. I did check the Windows logs and didn't see much help out of those.
Thanks guys!
