Perfect. I'm going to add a bit more validation but this looks good. |

According to the virtualbox documentation: Like a real SATA controller, VirtualBox's virtual SATA controller operates faster and also consumes fewer CPU resources than the virtual IDE controller. Also, this allows you to connect up to 30 virtual hard disks to one machine instead of just three, as with the VirtualBox IDE controller (with the DVD drive already attached). This has been an option in Packer for a while now: hashicorp/packer#391 like so: "hard_drive_interface": "sata",

By default, Packer attaches the primary hard disk to an IDE controller. However, this is sub-optimal as IDE hard disks do not support asynchronous I/O. This PR introduces a new option,
hard_drive_interface, that allows customization of the disk controller. At this time, it only accepts"sata", but could be expanded for more elaborate configurations in the future (e.g., SCSI/SAS).
