You can't install VMWare fusion to a portable hard drive, but you can make a virtual machine on the hard drive. Install VMWare fusion normally. Then, when you go to make the new virtual machine, make the virtual hard drive somewhere on the external.

What is a good portable hard drive?

Brad Truxi

I am looking for a 500GB or more external portable hard drive. I want it to be powered by a USB cable instead of an external power source. Also i dont want to spend a lot on one, but i will spend the extra money to get the better product.

Here is a pretty good one: 500GB/USB 2.0 Powered/$120

This one is also good and reliable with 500GB, but uses an AC Adapter Power Source, it is cheaper though $95

This one has a faster data transfer rate and is a little smaller than both above, however it is $130

You can find more harddrives on bestbuy.com or newegg.com
