SCSI Controller Type

[vlho]

Hi all,

what's the difference between this controller: LSI Logic Parallel, LSI Logic SAS and VMware Paravirtual?

Thanks.

LSI Logic Parallel is available for VM with Hardware verion 4, while others to version 7 only. The main difference is: LSI Parallel is more compatible and work on most systems, while LSI SAS and VMware paravirtual are faster.
