New Laptop HardDrive: Recommendations and Considerations?

Paging is something your OS resorts to if you run out of enough space on your RAM to cache all the data you want. So your OS creates a page table on a local HDD or SDD that contains data it swaps in and out depending on the whatever algorithm the OS has implemented.

Don't disable the page file. Not even a problem anymore considering write life has been extended and the limit is not practically reachable anymore. Also its one of the benefits of having an SSD, seek time is exponentially faster than a HDD. So if you ever have a cache miss and need to swap from disk, it isn't going to cause thrashing and hurt performance (it still will because SSDs are exponentially slower than RAM). In reality there are very few times where you will actually hit the page file, but its better to keep it enabled so that you don't have any fatal crashes or memory loss because you don't have a page file.

TL;DR: Never get rid of the page file.

I do highly recommend reducing the size of the page file by manually setting it to 1GB or so (maybe 2GB for 8GB of RAM). For large ass 1TB harddrives, 8GB or 16GB reserved for the page file is a drop in a bucket; but for SSDs where you already have 20% reserved and are typically smaller in capacity at price points, its more significant.
