Is there a method to increase conversion speed from Vconvertor from VMX to ESxi format?

Cause as of right now, it states it's going to take 15hours for 50 gigs worth of Data.

Please reply back ASAP.

Regards.

Are you resizing the disks? Resizing will use file level copy instead of block copy, which is slower.

"Resizing disk" means when you went through the Converter wizard and selected which drives to convert, did you also specify to have Converter change the disk size? If so, then Converter is doing a file copy rather than a block copy.

It may be simplest to stop the conversion and run the wizard again, since it's going to take a long time anyway. No sense waiting.
