Best virtual SCSI Controller for vSphere 8 AFF8040 NFS

[Bl0ckS1z3]

Hello,

we have a vSphere 8 Cluster and an AFF8040 connected via NFS to each Host.

My question is, what is the best virtual SCSI Controller for the Windows vm's. At this time we use the paravirtual Controller, but somewhere I read that the virtual NVMe Controller would be better.

Is there a best practise for this?

Thanks.
