    Hi

    WHY:
    I am one of the happy owners of a new Macbook Pro 13" with malfunctioning SATA controller. This means that when I use an SSD I frequently get nasty hangs or crashes when the machine access the disk intensively.

    Question:
    Which does the least disk trashing? Accessing a bootcamp disk which uses MAcfuse or accessing a native PVM image. I suspect that the PVM handles its .hdd file as a large binary file which from time to time absolutely trashes the SATA interface.

    Trivia related to Macbook Pro SATA II travesty:
    As some of you may know there is currently massive problems with Apple latest line of Macbooks and disks using SATA II and even using the flawed EFI 1.6 which downgraded SATA to version 1 (1.5mbit/s) I my self is living a dangerous life using EFI 1.6 and a SSD with daily crashes waiting for Apple to come up with a fix. But one way of avoiding crashes is to minimize concurrent disk access and long runing disk trashing.
