[QUOTE="mazskolnieces, post: 927006, member: 88422"] The main reason is that any disk drive runs slower than RAM. Now I know that's a pat answer and basically relegates the reason to the obvious. However, the disk drive itself is not usually the real bottleneck. Buses and drivers, and a host of other things, can be the culprit to slow VMs. The other more common problem is that a particular OS build just doesn't work well with the Virtualization software that you're using. For example, Linux distro X build Y is sluggish whereas the next build, build Y works noticeably faster. Heck, even Oracle and VMWare can't figure out the causes of slow VMs. As far as VBox this guide on how to tweak a VM for speed this guide rings true: [URL='https://www.howtogeek.com/124796/THE-HTG-GUIDE-TO-SPEEDING-UP-YOUR-VIRTUAL-MACHINES/']The Complete Guide to Speeding Up Your Virtual Machines (howtogeek.com)[/URL] [/QUOTE]
