1. To buy best quality Star C3 2015.5 $459:
Recommend you Star C3 Pro 2015.5 with 5 pieces of cable, it is the best quality and most stable, for $459 not with shipping cost

4. To buy Star with internal hard drive or external hard drive
Both Star C3 and SD C4 are available with external and internal hard drive, to buy external hard drive or internal hard drive; it is specific to individual users. According to most users’ feedback, I conclude their advantages and disadvantages as follows.
External hard drive advantages and disadvantages:
1) External hard drive is a much more versatile solution. If laptop broke, you could just plug it into another machine.
2) It’s a lot slower than running it from disk, because of VMWare overhead. If you use it 2 or 3 times a year, a VM solution is perfectly fine.
3) Hangs off the machine and can be damaged as you move the laptop around. If you pick up the laptop, the USB drive unplugs, then it will fall to the ground and you’re cooked.
Internal Hard drive advantages and disadvantages:
1) To minimize setup difficulties I recommend purchasing a kit which includes an internal hard drive with all software pre-installed.
2) Much faster, if you use it quite a bit then go External hard drive.
