I have disabled paging file on my SSD (128gb samsung 830) because it is the only hd I have on my system and I need the 8gb extra space it takes. I haven't had any real problems when I disabled it. Do I need paging file and is it safe to turn it off is my question here?

It's usually safe to disable it, unless you run out of ram - then it isn't. There are a couple of applications that wont run without one but they're becoming pretty rare. You could reduce it to 1 or 2 gigs.

Turn it on or you will eventually have to reinstall windows when it corrupts. I have 120 Agility 3 with 2gb pagefile but you can set yours to less like 1gb. But trust me leave it on , ive owned 7 SSD's and everytime i disabled pagefile the OS corrupted sooner or later.

I will set it to 1gb then just incase. I guess that would be enough? What will hapen if the memmory exceeds it's limits and I don't have pagin file or not enough pagin file?
Do I set it to initial size 1000mb and maximum size 1000mb and the it would be 1gb of paging file?

I usually have mine disabled or set to 512MB min/max. It depends on what I am doing.

I'd say just set it to 400MB-1GB normally.
