SSD & Pagefile.sys and Hiberfil.sys

Interesting thing happened with my SSD primary drive. It was missing a full 64.8G of it's space. Seems that the pagefile.sys and the hiberfil.sys can burn up the space. If you have large amounts of RAM - it gets ridiculous. I have 32G of RAM in the HP Elitebook 8770w. Turned off Hibernate and then reset the VMemory (not needed much w/ all the RAM). Windows 7 Pro 64bit - went into C: to make some changes. Had read a lot about bits of space dropping out on SSD's, but they were all with less RAM.
Fun! All runs faster now.

    When I installed my SSD, I followed a tut to maximize performance on it.
    I think it was enabling trim, deactivating sleep, getting rid of defragmenting, etc.
