March 28, 20233 yr I have a windows VM that has 2 SSD's passed through to it. Not the controllers, just the drives. The main OS drive can sit there and idle fine, but as soon as I start performing write operations, after about 1GB it starts freezing, locking up, pinging out. Eventually it will start to come back to life and I can see in task manager that the drive is 100% utilized. This will continue for a minute or two after the files have stopped moving where they were created, copied or extracted to. I was having this exact same issue when I was running the vm as a disk image on the cache pool and thought the ssd would fix it. I have tested both drives and they have the same behavior. They are connected to different sata controllers, X570 and Asmedia (only one drive is connected). I updated the virtio driver package and saw no change.
