Fernando, Thank you for the feedback. This helps.
To clarify, the VM currently created use this: [cid:[email protected]] To follow up on your feedback it means we were not taking advantage of the NVMe storage's performance, even thou we had VB and extension pack running. Is this fair summary?

I could run existing VMs, and create new ones. Could we run into issues when the disk needs to expand after it reaches the 100G initial size? Can I assume that if it works now without the extension pack, it will always work? Yes. Or could still run into issues later where we can lose data or render the VM unusable because we didn’t install the extension pack on Windows 10 host? Think of the extension pack as a set of drivers. Here are some of the main features provided by the VirtualBox Extension Pack: 1. USB 2.0/3.0 device support: The extension pack enables the use of USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 devices within virtual machines. This allows you to connect and use USB devices, such as external storage devices, printers, scanners, and other peripherals directly from within the virtual machine. 2. Virtualized Remote Desktop Protocol (VRDP) support: VRDP allows you to access and control virtual machines remotely over a network using the Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). With the extension pack, you can enable VRDP support in VirtualBox, making it easier to manage and interact with virtual machines from remote locations. 3. PXE boot support for Intel network cards: The extension pack includes support for Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) booting using Intel network cards. PXE boot allows you to start virtual machines from the network, making it convenient for large-scale deployments and network-based installations. 4. Virtual encryption support: VirtualBox Extension Pack provides the ability to encrypt virtual disk images, adding an extra layer of security to your virtual machines and their data. 5. Host webcam passthrough: This feature enables virtual machines to access and use the webcam attached to the host machine. It allows applications running within the virtual machine to utilize the webcam functionality seamlessly. 6. VirtualBox Remote Desktop Protocol (VRDE) authentication: The extension pack allows you to set up authentication for VirtualBox's built-in Remote Desktop Protocol (VRDE), providing an additional level of security when accessing virtual machines remotely. NVMe is a high-performance storage interface protocol designed for solid-state drives (SSDs) to maximize their performance and minimize latency. When it comes to VirtualBox, NVMe support refers to the ability to pass through an NVMe SSD to a virtual machine. This allows the virtual machine to directly access and utilize the NVMe storage, which can significantly enhance disk I/O performance for certain workloads. Without the Nvme support enabled, you can still use VirtualBox to create and run virtual machines, but access to Nvme Storage will be virtualized, like everything else. To enable NVMe support in VirtualBox, you need to ensure that your host system has NVMe hardware and drivers installed. Then, within VirtualBox, you can add an NVMe controller to a virtual machine and select the NVMe SSD from the host system to be passed through to the virtual machine. This allows the virtual machine to take advantage of the NVMe storage's performance characteristics. So, on the end it's just a performance issue.
