pvm file on ssd

[JohnnyfiveN]

Hi,i would like to ask about the type of disk in which the virtual machine is installed,if it has any effect on the speed of the virtual machine?

At this time i have my virtual machine on the standar fusion drive of my mac.(imac 5k 2015)
The general disk (which are installed also the vm)has begun to fill,also the pvm file is getting bigger and the virtual machine response has down (at loading my apps and i think it has lost a few the smooth responce ).

Hello @JohnnyfiveN, by default, it will create on Expanding disk. To know what is expanding disk, please refer this article: kb.parallels.com/4706 To know the difference between the virtual machine(Local Disk C) and virtual machine configuration settings, please refer this article: http://kb.parallels.com/124218 Thanks, Meena.

Yes, it will improve the read and write speed of the virtual machine if you use SSD.
