Not to minimise, to exclude.

Hi,<br />
<br />
to optimise the use of my swapfile/pagefile, should put it ALL of it onto my non-system (f)-drive or should i split it up between the system (c)- and (f)-drives?<br />
<br />
Also, what is the TRUTH regarding whether or not to have a &quot;static&quot; swap file? Some people say to keep min and max sizes the same &nbsp;to minimise changing of size therefore speeding it up while other (just as credible) sources say keep them a little different.<br />
So what is the truth, and evidence for it?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
