Re: Fast flash drive?

Dave,

I'm assuming that replacing the hard drive is not a simple task on this mac
like it would be for most Corporate Lenovo, HP and Dells? Is there an
independent third party Apple authorized retailer (not an apple store or
box box retailer) that does Mac repairs? Many of them, like TekServe in
manhattan will upgrade hard drives.

Folks:

Does anyone know of a very fast flash drive? I'm thinking SSD fast.

I run Parallels on my Mac laptop, but the main drive on the machine is
only 256gb and I don't want to use up a lot of space with my VM's.

Currently I have a USB 3 connected external SSD that works fine ... but
it's bulky and a pain to connect & disconnect every time I want to use it.

I've tried putting the VM's on a USB 3 flash drive, but the speed was
horrendous.

I'd like to find a USB 3 flash drive that operates at near SSD speeds.

Thanks!
