What disk image should I use with VirtualBox, VDI, VMDK, VHD or HDD?
- by Sorin Sbarnea
Latest versions of VirtualBox supports several formats for virtual disks, but they forgot to provide a comparison between them.
VDI
VMDK
VHD
HDD
Now, I am interested about a recommendation or comparison that considers the following:
be able to use dynamic sizing
be able to have snapshots
be able to move my virtual machine to another OS or even another free virtualization solution with minimal effort (probably something that would run fine on Ubuntu).
performance
