The IDE interface was able to simultaneously access both drives at the same time reducing the overhead of having the pagefile on the same partition as the OS. With much faster drives these days; you'd probably not notice the small, insignificant increase. Oh, by the way another partition on the same drive doesn't count!

Disks are faster then before, but speed of disks grows much slower than speed of computers, being their bottleneck. There is much time spent by disk head travelling. -- Poutnik The best depends on how the best is defined.
From: Richard Urban on 26 Dec 2009 10:50 With 2 drives on the same IDE controller when one drive is actively reading/writing the other drive is in a wait state. The resources fluctuate back and forth. With a 2nd drive on a different controller both drives can read/write simultaneously! -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience/Security "Poutnik" <me(a)privacy.net> wrote in message news:MPG.259fdefde76170089898b1(a)127.0.0.1... > In article <u1gagTRhKHA.3792(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl>, > richardurbanREMOVETHIS(a)hotmail.com says... >> >> Placing the pagefil.sys on any other partition on the same hard drive >> will >> only slow the system down.

From: Peter Rubens on 28 Dec 2009 15:42 OK so there is no gain in speed. But what about fragmentation, there will be no more fragmentation...... That is the gain.

It can work with one disk, while waiting for the other to write data from disk cache, or until data to be read are ready in disk cache. -- Poutnik The best depends on how the best is defined. |
