Why does Hyper-V take so long to copy from host?
Seriously, 4gb worth of ISOs is taking 20 minutes. Nothing else is running besides the host and the VM on a SATA-II 7200 mirror, and the files are being copied over from another SATA-II 7200 mirror. I'm not saying it's slow, only that I could copy them faster over my WLAN. Happy? Maybe it's being obstinate because it…
