SSD speed up vmware?

jms209 · Jan 24, 2014

So I want to install vmare and then load Linux or OSX via vmware.
Linux overheats on my PC once I load it up normally.

So the actual software/vmware will be on the SSD.
So will the actual Linux install need to be on the SSD to load faster?
Also will I even notice much speed/load difference if vmware has to load Linux from the HDD instead of the SSD? Since I want to save some space.

I'm assuming it will help,sine the SSD could load the large install file faster than the hdd could.

SSD will only improve the speed of whatever is stored in the SSD, if you want the virtual linux installation to benefit from the SSD, make sure it's virtual hard disk is stored in the SSD.

What do you mean "overheats"?

Your PC isn't going to run any cooler, in fact there's more going on with a virtual OS running within another OS so it would be hotter.

If your CPU fan is simply too noisy then address that in particular.

I can game on my computer and everything else normally. On Windows 8 my laptop gets hot,but does not overheat.

When I installed linux and used it for a couple of minutes my laptop would overheat and shut off.
I tried numerous "fixes" and none cooled down the laptop. I have an AMD APU,so I've heard that APUs are not widely supported and so don't have great heat control outside of windows.
