Copying files from a USB (FAT32 or NTFS) device…

It is not uncommon, especially in troubleshooting scenarios where you might find yourself needing to transfer files to or from an ESXi host using a USB device as it may not be reachable on the network. Another common case for directly attaching a USB device to an ESXi host is to transfer a large amount of Virtual Machines that were exported from another system and rather than streaming the content from your desktop, you may want to connect it directly to ESXi host.

How fast can you recover 1000 VMs with SRM? – via Virtual Blocks

How fast can you recover 1000 VMs with SRM?
