[dba-Tech] Moving and deleting files

[Gustav Brock]

Hi Rocky

It runs pretty much the same, except if it is very disk intensive and that disk is a vhd on a physical drive. If the data drive is a network drive or an SSD, there isn't much of a difference.
For fast database activity like SQL Server you should attach a dedicated physical or an iSCSI connected "physical" disk.

Gustav:

Thanks for that.  My experience with VM Player is that it was very easy to use, but the response time is a lot slower than native mode. (I'm running
3+GHz i7 with an SSD and 8GB Ram). Think it would be the same with 
3+Hyper-V
or faster?

TIA

Rocky

Hi Rocky

The Hyper-V Manager is as simple as can be. It even has a wizard to create a new VM in a few steps.

If you like, you can easily create shortcuts to the VMs as I have shown
here:

However, the normal and recommended method to connect to a VM is Remote Desktop, indeed for long term usage.

I use VMWare Player to create VMs for testing apps in different versions of office.  Is there any advantage to me using Hyper-V. Looks like it may be more complicated and more power than I need.

Hi Arthur and Gustav:

I can confirm this. Hyper-V uses a lot less overhead than either VirtualBox or VMware.
