This is exactly why you shouldn't have your windows pagefile on your SSD.
I don't think so... from

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.
