To get the best
performance it is best to create a paging file on a different partition than
the boot partition (the drive that contains that operating system, which is
usually the C drive) and to also create
it on a separate hard drive. In this way, Windows can handle more I/O requests
because the paging file will not have to compete with the system folder
that needs to be constantly accessed as Windows runs.
But keep in mind there is a problem with
completely moving the paging file from the boot partition to a different partition. Windows uses
the page file to write out debug info in case our computer crashes with blue
screen of death STOP error. If you get the blue screen of death, it’s not an easy
process at all to read the file and even if you can, it can be quite
complex. If you have enough space, then you can leave the paging file
there. This is important for machines that have critical
data, but for the average user, this is not a big deal. This problem occurs in a rare case.
