&lt;p&gt;Use SCSI virtual drives; if you attach VHD as IDE drive there's a limit of 127Gb on VHD size - no such limits for SCSI&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WHS can live in as little as 300Mb RAM virtual machine (provided you're not using web access - this will require more). It's better however to give around 1G RAM for setup phase (otherwise installation could take quite a long time) and lower RAM allocation once WHS is up and running&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
