What are the benefits of having a page file on each hard disk?

Does it improve performance?

THANKS

No

None, If your PC has 256+ of Physical RAM the actual traffic on
the Pagefile will be minimal. Redirecting the Pagefile to a second
equal performance "Physical" disk may provide a small amount of
performance. The requirement that a Pagefile should exist on the
XP partition is for performing a Memory Dump (Memory.Dmp)
which must be equal in size to the Physical RAM on the PC.

Kenny

Doesn't this extract give you an unequivocal answer?

In earlier NT systems it was usual to have such a file on each
hard drive partition, if there were more than one partition, with
the idea of having the file as near as possible to the ‘action’
on the disk. In XP the optimisation implied by this has been
found not to justify the overhead, and normally there is only
a single page file in the first instance.
