Solved Do I need a swap file on an SSD
I only ask because apparently they can wear out quickly through use, one is not supposed to defragment them, so I was wondering if a swapfile is required for one of these drives as they are faster by far and away that a HDD.

Hello Fejinwales,
If you are referring to the page file, then yes it's recommended to have one since some programs may require one to run properly no matter how much RAM you have installed. This will not hurt a SSD.
Hope this helps,
Shawn
