That’s more of an underlying storage question—VHDX on NTFS adds overhead but not nearly as much as the storage on your virtual server.

I'm planning to migrate a physical file server that contains over 4 million Word, Excel and PDF files to a virtualized instance. Roughly 100 users access these files regularly on a daily basis. Should the guest OS be on a separate vhdx from the file storage or is it acceptable for the whole thing (OS and 4 million files) to reside on a single vhdx? Thanks. Steve
