• Faster to generate;
• They use less space;
• From a linked clone you can always generate a full clone.
#10 Full clone and linked clone methods in the same tutorial.
Full Clone is the method by which you, is the slowest and will use the same size as the original VM. do a complete copy of the VM. 
Linked clone is a fast method with a minimal space usage. The disadvantage is that you always need the original VM since the clone contains only the differences with the original VM.
