[QUOTE="Howard Brazee, post: 1838093, member: 65233"] I have a 32-bit program that I need (The author says it won't be updated until mid 2020). One way to use it is to have Mojave in a VM. I tried VM-Fusion but I needed the ability to access external monitors from within it, and it didn't work. I'm told Parallels handles that feature better. So I next created a Mojave partition, and am able to reboot into Mojave to run my program. That works. I don't even need the program nor the data on that drive, as I use aliases to point to them on my Catalina drive. But I'm planning on buying an External SSD and moving Mojave to it. I read this article [url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/anthonykarcz/2019/04/23/saving-1000-or-more-on-a-new-imac-part-1-solid-state-storage-blues/#66613333d05c]Save $1,000 Or More On A New iMac - Part 1: Solid State Storage Blues[/url], and see its advantages. My current Mac has Thunderbolt 1 and USB 3, so I want a drive that does both. I'm thinking of getting LaCie 2TB Mobile SSD drive. When I buy my new Mac next year, I'll be able to use its Thunderbolt 3 port, and when I can upgrade that drive to Catalina, I can have the speed of SSD, even if my new Mac has a Fusion drive.
