I wish they said if that was internal info from MS, if they worked there,
or anything at all... etc.
They make a good case. Plus, why have one and not use it if you can.
I'll check into it when (if) I get one. In the mean time, others should watch
the Intel percentage of wear indicator closely.
It is a course measurement, but they claim it is statistically accurate.

Subject: Re: [H] SSD question
The page file should go on the SSD:
Should the pagefile be placed on SSDs?
Yes. Most pagefile operations are small random reads or larger
sequential writes, both of which are types of operations that SSDs
handle well.
In looking at telemetry data from thousands of traces and focusing on
pagefile reads and writes, we find that
Pagefile.sys reads outnumber pagefile.sys writes by about 40 to 1,
Pagefile.sys read sizes are typically quite small, with 67% less than
or equal to 4 KB, and 88% less than 16 KB.
Pagefile.sys writes are relatively large, with 62% greater than or
equal to 128 KB and 45% being exactly 1 MB in size.
In fact, given typical pagefile reference patterns and the favorable
performance characteristics SSDs have on those patterns, there are few
files better than the pagefile to place on an SSD.
