[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1446950, member: 145676"] I actually have Linux running off of Virtualbox off of a external thunderbolt drive. Seems to work quite well. I haven't tried Windows yet but I would expect performance to be pretty good. As chscag mentioned - you can move the VM to the drive - then let parallels open it - it should create everything you need to run. One thing I've found is if you have multiple virtual disks - you may have to repoint to each individual disk - but that was a while ago. [/QUOTE]
