Ensure the type is Mac OS X and the version is macOS 10.12 Sierra (64-bit) (there is a High Sierra option too, but I chose Sierra by accident and it worked).

Ensure the name of the VM is MacOS (ensure to keep the same casing).

I didn’t find a combination that didn’t work, but create a VM with the following things in mind: I experimented with a few different settings in regards to the CPU and RAM allocation.

This method uses hardware RAID and is not a software RAID. To accomplish this, you need an external hard drive and a copy of SuperDuper software in addition to your RAID 0 drives. We will use the same Mac machine (that will use RAID 0) to perform all the steps below. In order to install the latest version of Mac OS X onto a RAID 0 slice, you must clone a copy of your Mac OS X installation straight to the RAID 0 drives (not a restore, such as Time Machine, which will not work). However, see our workaround at the end of guide. *You will notbe able to install system updates from the App Store on your live RAID volume. Until Mac OS X High Sierra officially supports RAID configurations, follow the steps below to setup a fully functional RAID 0 configuration. This has frustrated a lot of the Mac community.
