I don't care about ssd lifetime. This is purely an experiment. But you are inadvertently illustrating my point pretty well

I think you're under the false assumption that on Windows the page file is always being thrashed. That isn't how the VMM functions.

SSD "short" life span even from a bunch of 4KiB reads/writes is vastly overstated. Anyone who discusses the page file in terms of SSD lifetime is again, uninformed.
