SSD Optimization - Pagefile Or No?

Since we've come this far would anyone care to produce a rationale for going with the fixed max of 3x RAM? Which in my case would be 24GB with 8GB currently allocated and managed by Windows. SSD is 95% unused so space is no object. Asking this a theoretical question in lieu of examining a real world usage requiring a PF that large.

Windows 7 is the only version of Windows I would bother with manually setting a smaller page file over the double/triple the RAM capacity it does. Windows 8/8.1, and 10 adjust the page file for you based on your usage of Apps/Programs in the first week or two weeks.

Interesting, the 8/10 part. Going to actually look at improvements made in 10 without getting bogged down with the less salient 'features'.
