It's usually not a good idea to disable the page file because some programs are designed to use the page file and secondly, if you exceed the amount of RAM you have, you get a blue screen. Even with 16GB of RAM here, I don't disable the page file. Hibernation could be disabled but some people still like it even though an SSD is pretty fast. I will probably disable it. Apparently, I already did ha.

I agree, some programs do need the pagefile (Photoshop for example), so in that case it would be a bad idea to remove it. But that's why I also mentioned resizing....500MB (or so) vs 16GB goes a long way in a small SSD.
