HDD drives tend to wear out also, but I've not found an adequate comparison of SSD vs HDD lifetime which would be relevant in the context of swap (aka "pagefile usage"). Some people say that SSD lasts longer than HDD but other people suggest that that's only on certain tests.
That said, if you're worried about the SSD lifetime, you could swap to a USB flash drive. That would be annoying, however, because you need to install windows on the flash drive for this to work. (You could also presumably buy a new system with a dedicated paging file drive, for easy replacement. But that would also be annoying.) -- Raul On Sun, Dec 4, 2022 at 8:28 AM David Lambert <b49p23t...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Please enhance the man_jpacman_ noun. > > Are the options x or y?
