Your conversion speed will vary depending on options you select during the conversion process.
VMware converter uses two types of “cloning” methods during the P2V process:
File level cloning : Performed when you make the volume smaller then original (slowest conversion speed)
Block level cloning : Performed when you maintain or make drives larger (fastest conversion speed)
If you need to see the conversion rate use the VMware Standalone. It will now report the conversion rate as well as conversion type it is using to get your data into the virtual environment.
On my last project conversion speed varied from 144GB/Hr (or 2.4GB/min block lvl copy) to 36GB/Hr (.6GB/min file lvl copy).
