Swapping VM images via USB 3.0 storage

Hi,

I'm having trouble swapping VM images between computers via a USB 3.0 thumbdrive. I continuously receive corrupted image messages. Is there a particular format the thumdrive needs to be at, like NTFS or FAT32 to make this work or is it just not possible yet?

I'm not quite sure what ChipMcK is referring to, but storing VMs on a removable drive should not be a problem. VirtualBox doesn't care what API the host uses to talk to its drives, removable or not.
