Windows 7 temp/swap file location reassignment?

[TomSEA]

I have my Windows 7 OS installed on an SSD and also have 1TB and 750GB mechanical drives installed in my rig. I'd like to minimize the usage of the SSD to prevent wear and slow-downs.

Is there a way to reassign the Windows 7 temp file storage and swap file work locations to one of the mechanical drives? Or is there any reason why this wouldn't make sense to do?

Also looking for SSD maintenance tips, please.

Thanks in advance!

System Control Panel, Advanced, Performance, Virtual Memory. You can change its location and size there. I always set the minimum and maximum size to be the same to avoid fragmentation..

Thanks! Appreciate the info.

hmm; in theory, the SSD should have better performance than any HHD and thus be an ideal device for swapping.
