| | Can a Dynamically Allocated Virtualbox VM overwrite existing files? Hey all, Just wondering if setting up a Virtualbox VM with Dynamically Allocated size can overwrite files that already exist on a drive? I've set quite a few up now on an external disk (not the fastest method but storage on my internals is running a little low). I would assume that it doesn't overwrite existing data, but just wanted to check with you guys to make sure.  |

| |  Thanks Keith! I was hoping that was the case. Didn't want to overwrite and of my system images on that drive!  |

| | Nope, it can grow to X size that you specified, but only if there is sufficient free space on the hard drive to do so. |

| | Best is to use an external SSD attached to a USB3 or eSata port. |
