Where to put Win 7 Page file?

Hi All,

Upgrading to new rig with Win7 64-Bit with 3 HD's as follows:

-C Drive Intel x25-M 80GB Gen 2. w. O/S, Photoshop/Bridge and their scratch files. Other small apps
-D WD Caviar Black 1TB for general data storage, and several Windows app install locations I will redirect to 'D' during install to save space on C:
-E A Seagate 200GB PATA, ATA100 drive. This is more for long term storage.

To save 6+ Gig of HD space on my SSD, I want to put the Win 7 page file on drive E, which is the slowest drive of all. Would this be ok? I can't afford to have the Page file on C, and kill all that space and slow down Photoshop scratch usage. And I'd rather not put it on the D drive as this is where most of my working data will be and putting the page file here will slow the flow as well.

What do you think?
 
you want it on your fastest drive, however in this case i would put it on the D drive as that should be faster than the E drive for you.
