Hello, how are you? I’m running a Windows 10 home VM inside a Windows 10 Pro host. I keep things clean and optimized, using the Pro host for gaming. The guest VM helps with browsing, testing apps, and more. I have it as a VMDK file, but VMware lets you assign a physical disk when creating it. I own a spare 120GB SSD that’s not in use. Should I connect it to the system and build the VM with that drive? Would that improve performance? Or would using the VMDK on my existing fast SSD be just as effective? Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers

It shouldn't really matter, at least not a substantial enough variation to count.
