<div dir="ltr">Eneko,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for the feedback. It seems that the whole Windows system is slow.

pveperf on the disk (/) ?<br>

If you haven't, I think it will help you a lot installing virtio
drivers on the Windows guest, then changing VM disks from ide to
virtio.<div><div class="h5"><br>

<div>I am using 1x 500GB WD HDD. I can add another one if that

you read the IOPS? and what is a good number of IOPS today?</div>

</div>
<div>Could you confirm that you are using one 500GB
SATA drive as your storage ?</div>
<div>How many VMs are running on this drive ?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This SATA drive is capable of 60 IOPS maybe 70IOPS,
you can easily saturate this installing windows apps,
particularly if you run simultaneous VMs on that
drive </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>To solve your 'performace' problems you have to
build RAID and add more spindles.</div>

<div>I am seeing very slow install of
applications within a Windows 2008R2 VM that
I built with 24Gbs of RAM (no users on it
yet) and the Proxmox server is a DL160 G6
with Dual L5520 Xeon quad core CPUs. I don't
see why this is acting so slow. I am looking
for suggestions on how to make this work
faster. </div>

<div>Below are my findings of IO stats and HDD
specifications. I would like to know if
there is any hope to this server. I am
running Windows 2008 R2 in IDE0 and QCOW
