Distributing system paging files across multiple HDDs?

i have 5 HDDs installed on my computer.

After watching this video,

I wondered if i distribute the paging file across all my HDDs with the exception of the main C drive, if i can get better performance.

Although Linus does recommend for a small pagefile to be placed on the main drive for system dumps for crashes. But I has none since i usually kill the blue-screen before it can actually dump.

You are wasting your time, you will see NO PERFORMANCE increase, a page file is redundant (pretty much) unless you want to save crash dumps, it's an old relic from Windows XP when the OS would offload some tasks to disk to free up as much RAM as possible, in the days when most people have a minimum of 4GB and as much as 64GB RAM, a page file is not even needed.
