heyho Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 Hey! I've been setting up a few VMs now, thinking if customizing storage controllers makes a big difference. What do you think? Quote
Cian Joyce Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 @heyho, I think it depends on the situation. Some of the controllers might not be supported by your OS, hardware version or device type. Plus, you will need additional controllers for the disk drives. So really, sometimes it is a necessity more than anything. 1 Quote
Official Moderator Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 Hi, @heyho! Selecting a suitable storage controller is crucial for good VM performance. There are several types of controllers: IDE, AHCI SATA, NVM Express (NVMe) and SCSI. SCSI storage controllers have four sub-types: BusLogic Parallel LSI Logic SAS LSI Logic Parallel VMware Paravirtual SCSI Each of the storage controllers has its advantages and disadvantages.
