Greetings,
Are there any VMWare or VirtualBox gurus on this board? I'm looking to increase I/O performance on an old Dell referb. I was thinking about purchasing a PCie to NVMe adapter and a NVMe card to speed things up. My question is how should I use the space? Can I use it as some kind of cache that sits infront of the spinning HHD? I think I need to pay $$ VMWare for this, no?
Is RH/Debian + Virtualbox a better option? Maybe using lvmcache?
Computer: Dell Optiplex 9010 - 16Gb Mem - i7-3770 - 2Tb Spinning HD
Hypervisor: ESXi 7.0 (free version)
