I have a Windows 10 PC with two 500gb drives and the latest VB. I'm running Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) from the second (D) drive for testing things.
I'd like to use VB to run a single VM for testing to boot from an image in the MDT, but I'm afraid it will thrash the D drive at 100% by running VB and MDT at the same time.
What would I need to do to install VB to make use of both drives?
Thanks

Re: VirtualBox and two drives
Using Process Explorer you can see how much disk bandwidth each process uses. (Show Process I/O, read bytes, write bytes, other bytes, and delta bytes. Delta is how much data a second)
I haven't used the "MDT" so I don't know how Virtualbox can interface with it. There is nothing special about installing Virtualbox. You can tell the guest to make a disk anywhere you want on your PC. Will it thrash the drive? No way to tell. Just try it.
