The VMware Workstation Player virtual machine uses an existing physical driver such as an LSI SAS controller for the hard disk connection device. You can set up the OS without any errors, thanks to the devices that each OS supports as standard.
VMware, on the other hand, emulates devices and drivers for physical devices are not the best. VMware provides drivers optimized for low load. It is possible to improve the overall performance by reducing the CPU load rather than speeding up.
This article provides an overview of replacing pre-built virtual machines with the best devices.
Overview
The types and initial values that can be set for the hard disk connection device differ depending on the OS installed in the virtual machine.
Device used when creating a new virtual machine
Type when adding a virtual hard disk
The selectable values and initial values are as follows. You can select a virtual machine unlike when creating a new one.
◎:initial value, ○:Settable, ×: Cannot be set
Amendment policy
I wasn't sure which was the best, NVMe or PVSCSI, so I benchmarked and compared it and found that PVSCSI was better, so I recommend PVSCSI for all operating systems.

Setting method
Windows10
See below for steps when the virtual machine is Windows 10.
