Virtual Drive SDK enables users to generate and handle virtual disks that are recognized in Windows as standard disks. The virtual disks can be located on different storage locations such as hard disks, networks, databases, and random access memory.
Developing your own driver to accomplish this task is a daunting and time-consuming task that requires deep knowledge of operating system internals, as well as significant time devoted to debugging and testing. With the Virtual Drive SDK, however, implementing read and write operations no longer requires the development of a kernel driver.
All of the tedious and time-consuming work has been completed, which allows you to focus on the storage and encryption of your virtual disks. The latest version of VDSDK also supports both x86_64 environments and x86. Overall, the Virtual Drive SDK is an excellent tool for managing virtual disks that greatly simplifies the process and streamlines operations.
