May 1, 201610 yr I'm running a number of VMs (3) and I'm not happy with the performance, mostly due to congested HDD access because they all reside on the same HDD. So, I want to throw in an SSD and relocate all my VMs to it in the hopes it will reduce the HDD performance bottleneck. My first and most important question; how do I relocate my VMs to the SSD, do I simply move the VM folders to the SSD, remap the share and change the VM setting to reflect the new VM HDD path? Or, is there another way? Secondly, does anyone have any other suggestions to get around this?
May 1, 201610 yr That's pretty much the gist of it. You wouldn't necessarily have to move the whole VM folder though, just the drives and update the drive location. Really though, the best thing to do would be to have them all on separate drives, if possible. But I'm sure you know that.

My first thought was to segregate them to different drives but my preference - logical or not - is to keep them together.
