Hello,
I want to know if there is way to slow down disk? I need to test slow HDD on VM for application that I'm developing.
Is it possible?
Thanks
Artur

Re: How to: slow down HDD
No, there is no way to slow down the HDD using VirtualBox features. Virtual disk images are files hosted by a host drive, so performance is dictated by the host.

Re: How to: slow down HDD
If by "slowdown" you mean restrict the bandwidth that a virtual HD can have, yes, you can. Take a look at ch. 5.8. Limiting Bandwidth for Disk Images.
