3rd party driver to enhance disk access speed?

Source: microsoft.public.virtualserver

Message:

Some time ago I saw a 3rd party driver that claimed to significantly speed up
virtual machine "disk" access. It worked for both VMWare and the MS side.
Does anyone know the name of this or a similar product?

TIA,

barkingdog

I don't know of a third-party product, but I'd suggest using as many
separate physical spindles as feasible across which to spread your guests.
Of course, the faster the disks and the faster the interface (SCSI vs. SATA
vs. USB/Firewire, etc), the better your performance will be (this is true as
well with non-virtualized systems). Eliminate disk contention wherever
possible...

You can use the virtual SCSI driver to speed up I/O within a VM. The driver
is in the VM Extensions.
