The paging file on the SSD

Should I leave the paging file on the SSD?
There is a myth that it shortens the lifespan of the SSD. But we're buy SSD for performance?
From personal experience, I noticed that if you put swap on the SSD, in the future, not observed problems with performance in games.

Can safely put the swap file on the SSD. Though reduced service time, but 5 years definitely will serve SSD, even the cheapest. And there easy to change to a new one.

Yes. But if you feel sorry for the place, make it variable size: will increase when it is necessary, and then decrease to the minimum value. The is this: a minimum of 16 MB (the demand system) and the maximum on the recommendation of the system: ~ 1.5 times the amount of RAM.

new trend? the sect of the paging file? sect of raskryvanie done already? sect 5GHz already?
you don't need a paging file at all, unless you have a rusty bucket with 512mb operatives, figuratively speaking. take it all, or bet the minimum, 16MB to write a mini-dump in case of BSOD, or a full dump, but in this case, the OP will grow to about papiga. although it is unlikely you will understand about the purpose of a dump and reading, taking into account the level of issues.
if the user has such a system that is everywhere and always freezes, no swap file will not help. he needed only to spike to overcome the lack of RAM when working, when the app is not enough RAM and it ALL. allocate additional virtual memory on the screw and the application can continue working, consuming all the allowed system RAM + the memory swap, not to fly due to the lack of address space in the memory for the operation. about any performance, such as increasing performance and stability, in the manner of the disappearance of the Frisians and of the question though, because the performance of any drive at times (NVME SSD) and ten times (SATA SSD\HDD) lower than the RAM in the parameters read\write, and virtual memory is running with an average speed drive. by the way, in case the HDD swap file further affected by fragmentation.
briefly: if everything is slow, then pump the iron, not the paging file.

and then these experts come to a gaming forum with the words I have idea what to do where they suggest to re-enable your paging file ,even if they have 128 gigs opertive
there are games and things which the swap file is needed .
in PUBS for example without it you can't play

I have a 32 GB, the paging file is not already in 2015. Everything works fine.
The days are 16 GB, do in some games is not enough, had to return, invece departure. All the rules completely.
