What happens if you often install / reinstall Windows in VMware?
Can a hard drive fail? can a sector be unreadable? Or will the hard drive become slower?

The disk may be corrupted without it. In general - no on all issues.

in an SSD is considered a limited resource for rewriting cells (but this topic is rapidly developing, current SSDs can be safely exploited for the period of moral obsolescence of the entire computer for sure)
hards have their own sores - spindle bearings wear out, head holders fly (especially in the presence of plastic elements). rewriting cycles of magnetic surface grains are also not infinite. but it is believed that all this is much better researched, tested and predictably calculated. with all this, it’s quite possible to run into a fast-dying HDD model (if it dies during the warranty period, there will be a replacement, but backups are on your conscience. if it doesn’t die during the warranty period, the main thing is not to drop it, it will live a long time))))
with the current balance of prices, it is perfectly reasonable to take ssd for the main system + hdd as a large storage
, and about hypervisors - a year ago I noticed an interesting thing, and it is most clearly manifested in only one combination:
- Windows in the role of the main system, in the role of the virtualbox hypervisor (vmvvar also shows the effect, but much weaker) => the system on the virtual disk, which is located on hdd, shows performance as on ssd. not only on tests. drove assemblies of very large projects in the visual studio - Wirth overtakes at least twice, sometimes it is much higher
tried the main system Linux + virtualbox + Windows as a guest => crap, the performance is exactly like on a physical disk)) then
choose for yourself))

What happens if you often install / reinstall Windows in VMware?You can install and reinstall Linux. you can record HD movies to the eyeballs, then record a new one .. everything is the same - just operating a disk of one activity or another

There will be often reinstalled Windows :)
Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. But all this can happen completely regardless of reinstalling Windows.
