I have been playing around with VM VirtualBox. When I go to make a new OS install it asks me to choose Hard Drive File Type.
VDI (VirtualBox Disk Image)
VMDK (Virtual Machine Disk)
VHD (Virtual Hard Disk)
HDD (Parallels Hard Disk)
QED (QEMU enchanced diak)
QCOW (QEMU Copy-On-Write)
I have googled and looked around a lot and in doing so in most things people have different as to what each is used/should be used for.
Just looking for some input as to what the differences between each of these, and witch is best to use.
*Note I am trying out different Linux Distros
-LinuxMint
-Ubuntu
-Parsix
and others
Thanks
