VHDX Specification Available
In Windows Server 2012 / Windows 8 we have introduced a new virtual hard disk format called “VHDX”. There are a number of advantages to this format:
- Support for greater than 2TB disks
- Better performance for dynamic and differencing disks
- Better handling of different disk sector sizes
- And more…
Last Friday we published the final specification for VHDX under our Open Specification Promise. You can download it from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34750
Cheers,
Ben
