ESXi 4.1 & Converter Standalone - IDE, SCSI Bus Logic or SCSI LSI Logic
When using Converter Standalone to create a Virtual Machine on an ESXi 4.1 host, it gives me the options of IDE, SCSI Bus or LSI Logic. How do I decide which is best? The host is a new, small desktop with 2 SATA hard drives plugged into the motherboard. The guest OS's will be Windows Servers.
IMHO you will have less issues with the SCSI bus, but it does not really matter, more dependent on what the OS can handle.
You want to use SCSI -> LSI Logic typically.

That's what I have been doing (LSI Logic). Where is Bus or IDE better?
For desktops...BUS Logic is best; for Server OSs...LSI is preferred.

The host hardware is a desktop. An HP w/AMD Anthlon II
WinXP OS?

No, 2003 SBS (and an XP for testing). I have low volume. This much hardware is plenty.
