jkadlec Posted July 11 Posted July 11 I would like to replace my Windows server with a Mac Studio. Will StableBit DrivePool run reliably on a Mac via Parallels? Thank you. Quote
0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted July 12 Posted July 12 It's "just" a VM platform. You should be able to, yes. And a quick look, you should be able to pass through the whole disk to the VM, too. https://docs.parallels.com/landing/pdfm-ug/parallels-desktop-for-mac-26-users-guide/parallels-desktop-preferences-and-virtual-machine-settings/adding-and-removing-devices/connecting-a-physical-disk-to-a-virtual-machine-as-internal Quote
0 jkadlec Posted July 12 Author Posted July 12 Thank you for your response, Christopher. I appreciate the link but I already knew I could do this with a physical disk as I am currently doing that with my MacBook Pro. To be more specific what I am asking is if it will be RELIABLE to use a DrivePool on the Mac Studio. I know it's theoretically possible. I was hoping to hear from someone who has actually done it to verify its reliability. It will be very expensive for me to make this switch so I want to find out if anyone else has had actual experience with this before I make the attempt. Quote
0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted July 14 Posted July 14 I did/do have a Mac (intel based) that I did use parallels on. And did use the software in, and it worked with no issues. Though, it wasn't a heavy load, at all. Quote
0 jkadlec Posted July 14 Author Posted July 14 That is exactly what I wanted to hear. Thank you. Quote
