[SOLVED] VM running off of single, dedicated disk...
I have a W10 VM that I use (try to use, anyway...) to render videos in Adobe. It's just on the array and the disk speeds are SO...INCREDIBLY...SLOW...that it takes an unbelievably long time to render. I stopped a render yesterday after over 2 hours because it was BARELY making progress...my flaccid dual core laptop did the entire render in that same amount of time. At the rate the server was going, it would seriously have taken 10 hours?...maybe 12? I don't even know. It's INCREDIBLY slow a
No wonder the performance is atrocious. Install your SSD in your server and when your start it up allocate it as the cache disk. Then you can change the system and domains shares to cache:prefer (that's the default, anyway) and run the mover (make sure the VM service is temporarily disabled first).
