There were some concerns on what that would do to performance, but what they've found in testing is that it actually improves performance as it decreases the amount of IO generated by multiple VMs using the same blocks. Combined with tiered storage (e.g. add a couple of SSDs to a set of otherwise spinning disk drives) and you can get some major performance gains.

Same physical disk with two partitions, would be a bad idea for performance reasons, the hard drive would need to seek back and forth between the two partitions on opposite ends of the same disk for common frequent tasks like pagefile access and accessing os files in c:\windows http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070610071036AAjZdmV http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314482 If this is a separate disk, then you can use VBScript/WMI calls: win32_PageFile or "wmic pagefileset" From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]]<mailto:[mailto:[email protected]]> On Behalf Of Marcum, John Sent: Wednesday, September 4, 2013 1:44 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [MDT-OSD] Page File Location I need to create a D:\ (hidden would be great) and place the page file on it during OSD.
