    Hi....

    I have a macbook air with a 128 SSD. Clearly disk space is limited. Before I go buy parallels desktop can anyone confirm if parallels allows for virtual machines to be created and run from external storage, either USB Storage or SD Flash memory?

    thanks

    You want to use the fastest external storage medium you can get your hands on.

    You could also set up your VM to just store its virtual hard drive on the external storage medium, while the rest of the VM (control files, VM files etc) are on your internal SSD.
