VMDK (Virtual Machine Disk) is a format developed by VMware (but now open), used for storage in virtual machines (a program running on a real machine such as a desktop or laptop PC in order to simulate a separate machine for the purpose of running software in a sandboxed environment, or to use different operating systems from that of the real computer). VirtualBox can use it in addition to the VDI format. The maximum capacity is 2040 gigabytes.The specifications of Virtual Disk Format 6.0 are still not released.
