Hello,

Does anyone have any experiences on using USB Disks on ESX 3.5. I was thinking of some USB over IP solution. Are there any good ones for free?
And how well do they work in ESX?

I use the Keyspan USB server with success to host USB security dongles. I have also used it to connect a USB flash drive to a vm before as well and it worked fine.

I'm using in two different infrastructure DIGI USBAnyWhere for connecting USB Dongle, USB Modems, and USB Disk without particular problems.
