Will there be at any time an update which support thunderbolt storage device or do I need to move over to Parallels Desktop 9?
I'm using VMWare Win and Linux Images for IT forensic work (one licence for testing @ home and one at work) and need more performance than USB2. With USB2/(3) I can use my Wiebetech write blocker to connect external storage devices. I can also use software write protection with thunderbolt in theory - if it would work with TB in general. It would be very useful to have thunderbolt storage support. Are there any plans?
The scenario is used on a MacBook Pro 15" retina late 2013 with nvidia graphics which supports Thunderbolt2.
Boot camp isn't really an alternative way to run the Linux/ Win images as I need to load/ unload and freeze the images or use different for testing purpose. So flexibility with virtual images is a must. So question is to stay with VMWare Fusion 6+ (which is stable and reliable) or move over to the competition. Anyway I'll give Parallels 9.02x a try to have some more arguments for this thread here.
