I have a 16 GB M3 MacBook Air with only 256 GB of internal storage, which isn’t enough for my cybersecurity work. Since I can't afford a new MacBook, I want to use a fast external SSD to store and run heavy applications—especially Windows VMs via Parallels Desktop—to save internal space. Can I run resource-intensive software like virtual machines from the external SSD, and will the performance be close to running directly from the Mac’s internal storage?
i know this is not a subreddit to ask this question but i know people here who do this stuff..
thanks
