I am currently using vm workstation 9 at home for personal use and I'm running a windows 8 host with a server 08 with exchange 07 vm (single vm). I have noticed the the hard drives really dont get a break and over time just wares them out. I moved the vm to it's own drive and while performance has improved I still see the high utilization times. What would be the best practice to run the virtual machines. Not concerned about raid as I shut the machines down and back them up periodically. Thank you!
