LoL sneaker-net. OP was talking about VMs though.

He didn't say they were large VMs.

Yeah, because most people fit your need. I'm guessing 99% of the people on Anandtech don't fit this let alone the rest of the world that make up 99.99 percent of the population. Extreme, very, special case, but YEAH! 😛

You clearly have never been on the DataHoarders Reddit forum. 😛

Also, just because you think I'm the minority, doesn't mean there isn't a need for home networking. Makes no sense. Tons of people have NAS and run things like Kodi, Plex, Airplay and so on.

I've never participated on any Reddit anything. I'm an Anantech'r. Praise be the Anand Fighters!

Also, I never said there wasn't need for home networking. I was merely pointing out to the OP that one could transport large sums of data with relative ease. You pointed out your extremely exclusive case, which I would agree would be more difficult. But, how many movies are you gonna be watching at once of that 70TB collection? BD-100 disks are 100GB and hold a UHD Blu-ray movie, right? I can put two UHD moves on a MicroSDXC storage that is the physical size of my thumbnail. No one that I know of needs to carry around an entire collection of movies and if you can't figure out, say, within ten guesses of what you want to watch on terms of UHD movies that can be put on a thumb costing <$40 then baby you got problems.

You actually expect people to plug in a usb device on the vmhost then mount in the particular vm?

Disks in power save mode? Power is something people seldom check but for always on devices, I turn all the power saving features off if I need it to react at a reasonable rate.

Nope, both computers on 24/7 no sleep. Sometimes it works right away, other times I open up Network Explorer or w/e it's called, and don't see the other computer. Usually it'll show up pretty fast, but sometimes I have to give up and come back later.

and then dismount in the vm and copy the files to the host. so weird.
