(9/10)
I'm working in an IT department and working with lots of CD, DVD to install/repair operating systems and applications. In the past I had a bag of cd's with many OS and programs. Now many programs start being sell in DVD DL Media. With the Virtual Drive I can create an ISO Of 9-10Gb without have to get a bigger media (if exists) to accommodate it. I use it in replication of windows imaging to speedup the setup of a PC.
The only thing that I don't like so much was eSATA mode. I have a HP Laptop of 2009 with USB2 and eSATA 3.0Gb/s connection. In order to work eSATA it's needed that usb was plugged-in to supply energy and seeing "eSATA mode" in display. I have tested with an ISO of windows 7 passing from internal HDD to a SSD disk in the box and the times for USB2.0 at 480Mb/s was approximate of that in eSATA mode, I don't know why. Appears to be the usb mode but with the eSATA mode in the display
