Hi yaroslav,

Thanks for your quick response!

1.During my vhdx to vmdk conversion, Just would like to know what exactly this feature when ticked ( enabled) will do and what if i do not tick what will happen then?

2. In parallel how many disk conversion we can do? I have three disk which needs to be converted will i be able to run all three in parallel to save time.

Thanks

That feature usually modifies how the conversion process handles specific parameters, like disk format compatibility or performance optimization. Without knowing its exact name, I’d guess it might be related to keeping the disk dynamic or preallocating space.

Yes, tick it. This feature facilitates compatibility during cross-hypervisor conversions.

You can handle whatever number of parallel conversions your system can handle without saturating network channels or storage.
You will need to start multiple CLI or application instances. Note that StarWind V2V converter is single threaded so it might be slow.
