Can you run a Virtual Machine off a separate HDD or SDD than your OS?

It seems like you should be able to, but I'm curious if anybody has ever done this before?

I am thinking if some day I get a cheap 60GB SSD, and add it to my comp, I could basically use the whole thing to store a .vhd file (virtual machine hard drive image). If the VM is ran from an SSD, it should be a bit faster than if it is just a partition on the HDD, right?

Please let me know, I'm still learning.

Thanks!
