2Tware Convert Vhd

2Tware Convert Vhd is a lightweight software application whose purpose is to help you convert Virtual Machine Disk (VMDK) files to Microsoft's VHD format. The VMDK file format is used by virtual machines like VMware Workstation or VirtualBox.
In addition, the utility is able to convert your physical machine to a single virtual disk so you can create full backups of your system.

Clean layout

The tool delivers a plain design that embeds all configuration settings in a single panel. It is clear that the accent does not fall upon the looks of the program but rather on its functionality.
The application offers support for an online help manual, which presents succinct descriptions about the configuration process, in case you do not manage to decode the settings on your own.

Conversion capabilities

2Tware Convert Vhd lets you select a VMDK file using the built-in browse button (you cannot rely on the drag-and-drop support). In addition, you can specify the saving directory and filename. The source files remain unchanged because the program performs a sector-by-sector copying task.
Another important feature included in the package enables you to convert a physical disk like IDE, SCSI or USB to VHD file format. Plus, you get to pick the VHD output destination and filename. In case you intend to convert a hard disk into VHD, you should create the new file on an empty hard disk, just to make sure you have enough space.
The utility carries out a task quickly but this pretty much depends on the size of your disk. It eats up CPU and memory so the overall performance of the computer may be burdened.

Final verdict

All in all, you can rely on 2Tware Convert Vhd for straightforward conversion tasks when you do not have time for setting up complex configuration parameters. The intuitive layout makes it suitable for rookies and professionals alike.
