Configuring VirtualBox on an SSD

I've installed VirtualBox on my SSD (X25-M), and have installed Windows 7 x32 within the VM. The host is Windows 7 x32.

All recommended optimizations are implemented on the host.

On the VM, I've disabled defrag, disabled Superfetch. VM is running MS' built-in AHCI controller.

Performance is poor - about as good as the VM performed when installed on a standard HD.

Anything special I need to do with a VM mounted on an SSD?

Hi rgarland,

How did you go with this?

I'm thinking about running virtual machines on SSD too.

Thanks.
