title: Is there a way to configure an Azure VM where the OS is on an SSD?
body: <p>I've taken a look at the D-series size which gives you an SSD.  However it is a temporary disk and from running some benchmarks in my VM, the OS disk seems to be on spinning metal.  </p>
  
  <p>Has anyone tried a setup where the OS itself is installed on an SSD?  I'd like to build a development environment that I can remote to from anywhere, but it's very slow and task manager shows me the culprit is being disk-bound.</p>
