Thats because you can split the pagefile to different drives.. Windows automatically allocates the pagefile.. There is no particular rule how it will allocate the pagefile to different drives. It is recommended that you keep the whole of your pagefile to one partition only.. That option is there for people who habe many different hard disks (not partitons). Then they can distribute the pagefile to different disks. Then windows strts allocation pagefile starting from the fastest disk.
