Qubes OS on a 1TB HDD 7200 trs/min

[Axel Schwoerer]

Hello. I have an Asus laptop with 8gb DDR3 Ram and an i7 quadcore and I
want to know if it is possible to run Qubes OS on a 1TB 7200 trs/min ?
Because I don't have a SSD.

Thanks.

Hello,
I have succesfully installed the qubes os rc 4.0 on an Asus ROG GL752VW (external usb disk), the 3.2 installation was too difficult.
This page helped me a lot, have a look: https://www.qubes-os.org/hcl/

It's possible, just slower, esp. VM startup/shutdown, and updates. So don't update everything every day, and try not to shut down/restart your VMs too often, and you should be okay. :)
