    What's the recommended page file size for Win7 machines with solid state drives?

    Will setting the file size to fixed help increase the life span of the SSD? If so, is it significant?

    Just let Windows Manage your pagefile size to get the optimum setup.  Also, the page file will not effect the lifespan of your SSD.  With modern SSDs it is almost impossible to use your full NAND write cycle life, and if you do thats what backups and warranties are for.  Basically, a pagefile enabled will not cause your SSD to "die".......it being a poorly made drive is what will cause that.

    Be kind and Mark as Answer if I helped.
