FastestRecommended Disk for Virtual Machines?
Hey everyone - I am going to be settingup 5-10 VMs (Various dekstop and server OSs.. only 2-3 VMs will be running at any given time) via the Vmware Server Console from Windows XP Pro. I am trying to decided on which diskstorage option would be best performing and ideal for storing my VMDK files.
The Dell desktop that will be running the console is a 3.4ghz P4 with 3GB of RAM (DDR2 400mhz). The board only has two SATA-150 ports (which I am already using for the XP install and musicphotos) and has no PCI-Express slots.
Option 1:
Buy a SATAII PCI (Promise has one now) card and one 500GB SATAII HDD
Option 2:
Buy an external USB 2.0 500GB drive
Option 3:
Go cheap with SATA-150 or ATA133 (Is there that much of a difference with VM performance)?
Any other suggesstions?
Thanks!
I'd go for option 3. I really doubt you'll notice much difference between SATA and SATAIII but then again, it depends what exactly you'll be doing on those VMs.
Also i'd go for a second drive to mirror the 1st.
