Hi
I use vmware workstation for virtual OSes like windows 7/8/linuxes etc.
And i mess a lot with them so often I need to install the os again and again in vmware.
I use my external hdd for storing OSes but its slow, so I am thinking of using internal Seagate barracuda 1tb HDD.
MY question is, Does installing OSes lot of times have any effect on HDD's lifetime?
