VMDK which is the abbreviation used for Virtual Machine Disk is an open format application used to describe Virtual Hard Disk Drive containers. These containers are used by Virtual Machines that include VirtualBox or VMware Workstation. This application was first developed by VMware to be used with its virtual application products with a maximum VMDK capacity of 2TB which has since been upgraded to 62TB. The .vmdk extension files can be used as a hard drive for storing information and for backing up important data. The virtual disk can have one or more files with the .vmdk extension.
The .rar filename extension is a popular and partially open archive file format associated with the compression and decompression tool WinRAR. The format was developed by Eugene Roshal with its initial release in 1993. It, like many other archive formats, acts as the compressed data container for one or several files. The archive format can maintain the directory structure of the compressed archive even when unpacked to a directory. The RAR file format supports multi volume file compression where an archive is saved as a sequence of several files of a given size.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for VMDK to RAR conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload VMDK files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized RAR results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent RAR audio with dependable progress tracking.
The main advantage of VMDK technology is the convenience and simplicity that makes it easy to move the file from one server to another with the use of the migration component provided on the virtualization platform. It is easier to protect one single file using snapshots or CDP (Continuous Data Protection) technology. The .vmdk files can either be configured so that they can grow as more data is saved or can have a fixed size.
The RAR archive format supports compression, file spanning, and error recovery. Compression is carried out using a prediction by partial matching algorithm and the lossless compression algorithm LZSS. The RAR file format has a range in file size from as low as 20 bytes to 8 exbibytes less 1. It also supports AES encryption at 256bits as well as the CRC32 checksum and BLAKE2 file hash algortihms.
Upload your archive file in the VMDK format from your device, Dropbox, or Google Drive.
Select RAR as the output format and click Convert. Adjust optional settings if needed.
Download the converted archive file. Each file stays available for up to 5 downloads.
