comparison different formats virtual disk (Thick Provision Lazy Zeroed, Thick Provision Eager Zeroed, Thin Provision)

Hi,

we are running vSphere 5.5 with a small amount of hosts.

We have used the Thick Provision Lazy Zeroed format for virtual disks.

I think the format has a disadvantage, because if I create a virtual disk with this format and later my VM used e.g. the half of given disk space, it's a waste of datastore space.

Would it not be useful to create virtual disk with Thin Provision format ?

(all our datastores are local)

Kind regards,

Roland
