Greetings,
I recently installed Server 2012 as a HyperV guest on my W8 machine for lab testings.
As a VM, 2012 seems excruciatingly slow, even with 6GB of RAM dedicated to it.
My host computer is a i7 3770 with 16GB of RAM, and the 2012 VM is running on a Caviar Black HD in SATA2.
Has anyone experience the same thing ?
It's your hard drive. Hosting more than one vm on a regular SATA drive will be slow. Use an ssd instead.
It's your hard drive. Doesn't matter that you gave it 6GB of ram, you'd see the same issues if it only had 2GB of ram.
Upgrade your HD to either an enterprise class SAS drive (10k, 15k rpm), or SSD and performance will be awesome.
If you're testing then don't make threads complaining things are slowYou don't need expensive storage for testing.
