VMs and HDD Writes


Recommended Posts

I noticed that after creating a VM and launching it I could hear my HDD working overtime when my VM booted up. Is this normal or did I set something wrong. I looked under the main tab too and that write number is moving very fast which explains what I am hearing. The moment I turn off the VM the write number stops increasing so I know that it is the VM doing that. What in the world is it writing if all it is doing is reading the hard drive? I'm kind of afraid that this will significantly shorten the life of my HDDs.
