Hardware Virtual machine destination decision

[Absintu]

Hi temps,

Bought a new computer, and now i need to develop some stuff in Linux, can't do this one on Windows.
So. Installed na Ubuntu on na external HDD, but this is slow.
I always had that feeling that a VM on an SSD degrades it much. Is this paranoia?
Should i keep the VM on the HDD or just move it to my main drive?

I'd have a look at resource monitor to see how much it is reading and writing, and from there work out if you want to use your ssd or not.

Well, gave it another 2gb of ram, and it's better. thanks for the tip.jesus. Ubuntu eats ram af
