So, I got this idea, since my SSD is almost full, but I figured that the two storage-HDD's I have (which are non-SSD) are using beeing 'wasted', because I rarely use them. They are, as I said, just for storage.

Is it possible to configure VMware in such a way that I can make 1 or 2 virtuel machines on my C: drive (SSD drive) and then perhaps another on a 2nd HDD and a third on a 3rd HDD?


Your efforts are much appreciated, thank you.

You can select where you want to store the HD while you are creating the Virtual Machine, just click Browse and select a folder on your spare hard drives and that's it, Performance might be slower since is a HD instead of SSD.

Thanks - I never noticed this, because it's on the step in the setup right before you choose the size of the Harddrive for the VM.


Thanks buddy x).
