Hi guys!
I bought an Apple MacBook Pro 13 Mid 2012, with 4GB Ram and 2,5 ghz i5, and a 480 GB Crucial m500 ssd. I used mac os 10.9.5. One week ago I bought a WD Blue 1TB hdd (WD10JPVX) and an optibay. I put it into the mac.
First I installed a windows 7 with bootcamp, but after the first reboot, the windows won't started. Ok, I tried it with windows 8.1. It installed successfully, but it has an other problem. After 5 sec of working, the hdd just stopped to read, or write any of the data. It was spinning, but it didn't read or write anything. 30 sec later, the hdd worked normaly. But after 5 sec started this again, and the hdd spinned, but there wasn't any data traffic.
I made a clean install with mac os 10.10.5 to the ssd and I installed vmware fusion 7. I made a virtual machine with 1gigs of ram, and 1core, 60gigs of hdd. The virtual machine file is on the hdd. Now it does same like with the bootcamp. Also it reads and writes for 5-10 sec, but stops all of the traffic for 20-30 sec, but the hdd spins.
I won't install on the ssd, because I need the space for other data.
Do you have any solution? I need virtual machines to my study.
Thanks for the help
