The default pagefile is all you need. If you have separate physical disks,
there can be some benefit to having the pagefile on a more-rarely used
disk.

However, putting the pagefile on another partition is no benefit (and is
probably a minus in terms of performance). I have put the pagefile on
another partition, but only as a last resort when the first partition was
runnning out of space.
