[QUOTE="Renton, post: 1331255, member: 225222"] Hi - I'm new to this forum but have been around OSX for several years. I have a new 2011 mac mini (2.3 i5 - 8GB) and I do a fair amount of virtualization testing using VirtualBox on Sever 2008 etc. Even though I use fixed sized VHD's, I'm always running low on disk space as it's only got 500GB internal storage. So the question is, if I moved the VHD's onto a thunderbolt external hard drive such as the Lacie variant, am I right in thinking that it should easily cope with the constant throughput? Or am I missing something obvious? I'd rather be sure before buying one :D [/QUOTE]
