Not that I can see but then I do things a little different. This will also depend on which version of VMWare you are using. I do not have the money to invest in doing it as right as I should so I have to use the "free" version. I have a dedicated RAID 1 for the OS something like 36 GB or so. I also do not partition the Data Store drive. Each VM is in its own folder but not its own drive. YMMV
