A portion of memory, dedicated for this use through special purpose software, accessible by programs as if it were a physical disk drive, and storing data in files in a directory tree. Also called a RAM Disk.
A virtual disk is a file on a file system accessible from the server. To a guest operating system, it appears to be a physical disk drive. This file can be on the server where the virtual machine is running or on a remote file system.
A fancy term for RAM disk, a disk created from the computer's memory. (See also RAM disk.)
A virtual disk is an abstract entity used by Array Manager that allows you to use different hardware RAID layouts on selected array disks. Virtual disks are hardware RAID logical drives. After the virtual disk is created and the system is rebooted, the virtual disk appears as a disk in Windows. A virtual disk is functionally identical to a physical disk from the standpoint of applications.
a collection of physical disks or a set of contiguous disk blocks that are grouped according to a RAID level
a file on the host file system that contains all data stored in the virtual IDE or SCSI drive visible to the guest operating system
a flat file with many files inside
a flat file with many file s inside
a single file that is created in the host OS and used to encapsulate an entire guest disk, including an operating system and its applications
The simulation of a disk drive by using a part of the computer's RAM as the storage medium. This provides data access at internal memory speed.
A disk composed of pieces of several physical disks.
A portion of the computer's random access memory reserved for use as a simulated disk drive. Also called an electronic disk or RAM disk. Unless saved to a physical disk, the contents of a virtual disk are lost when the computer is turned off.
A file or set of files appearing as a physical disk drive to a guest operating system. These files can be on the host machine or on a remote file system. When you configure a virtual machine with a virtual disk, you can install a new operating system into the disk file without the need to repartition a physical disk or reboot the host. See also Raw disk.

A virtual disk is a file on the host file system that appears as a physical disk drive to a guest operating system. This file can be on the host machine as well as on a remote file system. When you configure a virtual machine with a virtual disk, you can install a new operating system onto the disk file without the need to repartition a physical disk or reboot the host. VMware virtual disk devices can also be mapped to partitions on the host machine. See also Raw disk.
(Disque virtuel) : Main storage section configured as a disk unit, thus allowing faster read and write operations. Also called " VDISK" or " RAM disk".
