Hybrid drives
For multi-VMs I'd look at a hybrid SSD / spinning disk solution.
A common VM pattern of usage is that the density of hits on a relatively small % of your storage is high, but there is still need to access more bulky data. Also newish hybrids "learn" access patterns and are particularly good at OS booting, especially Windows, so starting VMs ought to be quicker.
Pure SSDs are of course faster, but cost per Gb is way higher.
