    My PC spec is Core i5 7th gen, GTX 950, 16GB Ram. But Catalina is very slow in VMWare 15.5.6.
    Is there any fix for speed up?

    Hi
    How to fix this:
    Cannot connect the virtual device sata0:1 because no coresponding device is available on the host.

    Do you want to try to connect this virtual device every time you power on the virtual machine?
    Yes/Now
    Thank you very much.
