I have created a directory in my External Hard disk for my VM disks and select the appropriate size required based on your application or database requirements and click on Create button.

You can also right click on the VM and click on settings option

8. Click on Storage and click on plus symbol next to Controller : IDE to add CD/Device

Select the file and click on open.

That's it.
