Although it's very easy to create a box using GB, VirtualBox (VB) has more options. One thing I like about VB, is that there is an option to make the box automatically expand its size on the disk, if needed. As far as I know, the box size is fixed with GB when it's created. When I created my boxes with VB, I set it to use 4GB of RAM and 20 or 25 GB for the box size on the disk.
Hi Edward if you plan to use an OS in a VB machine regularly, I strongly suggest you go for fixed size preallocated disks. Expanding size disks are slower and keep growing over time. Good if you want to do a quick test of an OS. But if you use it regularly, the fixed size is recommended.Regarding speed, try out different options for the storage controller. I found SAS to be way faster than SCSI or SATA in the past and I see now there are even newer options.
