I’ve gotten up to this point : “Before we do that, however, I’d like to stop and take a quick look at a few different storage options. I’m currently using pure SSD storage for my VM’s, but you may want to choose a mix of SSD and HDD” so i went back to another part of the thread here : The Pragmatic Neckbeard 2: ZFS - SSD speeds at HDD capacities and I find that I DO want ZFS for my windows emulation.

is this what you meant by raw format: “for my VM’s C:/ Drive, with a raw storage format. raw disks will give us the best performance.”
I have an SSD for boot with 186 GB free but I suspect it won’t be enough given I’m planning to pile on ALOT of games /software most notable of which Star Citizen which by itself can take up 100GB. on the side i have some 2.3T free on a 4Tera and a whole 1Tera sitting around doing nothing.
also i downloaded the virtio-win-0.1.137.iso but I’m kinda clueless as to what to do with it. I mounted it.
do i copy it’s files to a folder in /usr/share/?
thanks!
