suggestion first and try a VMFS datastore first (I can't remember why I
chose RDM in the first place). At least I know I have the network
storage option as an acceptable alternative if the disk gets corrupted

ESXi host. My music is stored on a 4TB NTFS-formatted SATA drive. I've
tried connecting this drive to the ESXi host
