Which program allows you to run your VM off an external drive? It doesn't appear that Fusion does...

It does. You just need to select your external drive as your location when you create you VM. It'll default to the internal drive, just change the location (click "more details or something in the second or third step of the set-up) and designate the drive you want to use.

All of the programs will let you run a VM on an external drive. Even on USB 2, the difference in access speed isn't distinguishable. Use FW or eSATA and you'll have even better results.
