Disk Adapter For VMware Workstation is a Windows desktop utility that gives you the possibility to connect disk images with the RAW (DD) and EnCase (.E01) format to VMware Workstation Player and Pro with minimum effort on your behalf. This way, it proposes a solution for not having to create duplicates of the same disk images in various types.

The program can be quickly and easily installed on the computer. However, you should make sure to have either VMware Workstation Player or Pro version installed or the disk adapter utility won't work.

As far as the graphical interface is concerned, the software application keeps things plain and simple, leaving all options visible in the main window. After picking the connection mode between VMware Workstation Player and Pro, you can go ahead an add a disk image from your hard drive or removable flash disk, as long as it has the RAW (DD) or EnCase (.E01) file format.

Up to five disk images can be connected at the same time through the adapter. Thanks to this program, it's no longer necessary to convert RAW and EnCase files to VMDK format using various disk conversion tools, in order to be able to read the VDMK images with VMware Workstation Player or Pro version. The disk images can be connected to the host in either read-only or read-and-write mode, whether the virtual machine is already started or has stopped.

The software application worked smoothly on the newest Windows version in our tests, running on a low amount of system resources. It may not come with an abundance of options and configuration settings, but Disk Adapter For VMware Workstation delivers a straightforward, no-hassle solution for connecting RAW and EnCase images to VMware Workstation Pro and Player without having to first convert them to VMDK.
