The vds.exe process is also known as the Virtual Disk Service which is owned by the Microsoft Corporation. The Virtual Disk Service manages a diversity of storage configurations, which includes single-disk desktops and external storage arrays. This program exhibits an API (application programming interface). Furthermore, this process configures operations at the request of end users, applications and scripts, as well as performing queries. The vds.exe process is a Microsoft Windows service and is installed in the Microsoft Windows operating system. The program spreads the existing features and storage capabilities of Windows Server operating systems by unifying volume management and hardware RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) management under a single application programming interface; it also supplies an application programming interface to the existing disk management features and volume in Windows. This program runs in the Windows Service background and is under the filename vds. This file is considered to be safe and efficient for the user to operate within his or her system.
