About this tag
The usb datastore tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about using USB drives as datastores for virtualization platforms, particularly in home lab environments. A recurring theme is comparing VMware's support for USB datastores with Hyper-V, where users seek to understand if Hyper-V can similarly store and run virtual machines from USB drives.
