Interesting, thanks for that.
No, it's not a suitable drive for a VM workload. It's a suitable drive for throwing large amounts of data on which is then going to be read lots, or rarely touched again.
The VM is now back on SSD where it belongs, so from the sound of it I just have to accept that high capacity (at least in this case) comes with a performance hit and live with it?
If so I'll be selective about what I store on it but otherwise just suck it up!
