Those uses typically see the drives being written to when the image is initially copied to the flash drive. To get you started, I have had some good experiences, performance-wise, with the Sandisk Ultra Extreme II flash drives, but those are somewhat old now, and since then my general use for flash drives have been to use them for installing operating systems or booting live environments like PartedMagic for troubleshooting or utility use. Those will be abysmal compared to the internal storage in the rMB, but still might be acceptable to you (they wouldn't to me.) You will want to check actual reviews of them and compare the real-world read/write speeds. Ignore the speed of the USB port in the specs. You'll have to do your own due diligence to research which ones are best for that. There are some flash drives out there that have some half decent write speeds, but they tend to cost a lot more than the average flash drive of similar capacity. Not because of the port speed, but because of the flash memory speed, especially for writes. Yes, but it would most likely run like crap. So to move files from USB, I had to setup a "shared" network drive that accesses a folder in OSX and copy the USB drive data to that folder. Only issue: I can't seem to make it work with the USB-C port. it works like a champ and doesn't seem to impact battery life too bad.

It took a bit of trial and error (had to download an old version of VB (4.31test) and the appropriate extensions pack to get it to run since my XP VB-VM was so old.) Anyway.

#MIGRATE FROM PARALLELS TO VIRTUALBOX WINDOWS 10#

"Hey, Cortana."Īn update: installed VirtualBox this past weekend to open an old XP Pro 32bit VB-VM I had on my Windows 10 box. I even got Cortana working thru Coherence mode with voice control. The rMB gets a little warm (not hot) and it gets worse battery life but that's to be expected, I think. the mouse input got pretty screwy with the trackpad and I was unable to consistently click on anything. The only issue I have had so far is running Win10 in a window and trying to run VMware vSphere client in Windows 10 to control an ESX 5.5 server.

I also have a Chrome OS install and an Ubuntu Linux install and all of them seem to work fine. I'm running Parallels 11 to run Windows 10 Pro. I think its perfect for light or occasional use (and it may be capable of much more but thats my current level of use). I do keep track of Parallels and VMWare, occasionally trying a new version to see if there is some killer feature I can't live without, but so far I haven't switched back. Once it matured (a year or two back) to what I thought was reasonable reliability, performance and sophistication I switched to it. I played with Virtual box periodically but it was quite a while before I thought it was mature enough to switch to.

Virtual Box has the advantage of being free and works quite well although not quite as fast and efficient as Parallels or VMWare and not quite as sophisticated or as polished.

I occasionally switched to this from Parallels when there was a leapfrog but always went back to Parallels in the next release.

But it usually requires an upgrade whenever you have a major OS X release (annually).

VMWare Fusion occasionally leapfrogs Parallels and has the advantage of using the same VM's across a number of platforms.

When I was using Windows frequently for intensive tasks this was always my first choice.

Parallels is generally the fastest, most efficient, most tightly/smoothly integrated with OS X.

I've used all three VM packages, rotating through and back and forth over time.
