    It seems that Parallels supports only SATA which is limited to 6 devices. Is there any workaround to add more disks? I need to emulate about 20 disks (this is why people use a VM, to emulate different scenarios)
    Thanks

    I am sorry, I didn't want to open a case with your Support. I supposed this a forums where users also reply so I simply asked a question. All I wish from Parallels is to make Linux a first class citizen (add networking and disk support). Why do you focus on Windows only? Who uses Windows anyway? Windows in Parallels is maybe good for gaming, nobody serious uses Windows, which is declining (people are ditching Windows 11 left and right). Also stop this subscription madness. Who wants to create VMs and not be able to start them a year later if it doesn't pay the subscription? I don't want my VMs to depend on a subscription. Make the Pro version a one time payment product as well. You are ignoring your customers and this will come back to you as a boomerang one day. Listen to your customers
