How do I passthrough a unassigned drive to a Linux VM?

[Bob Cadenza]

I have a drive that I don't have as part of array, and is not on its own controller, so can't just pass that through, and also is not the boot drive, so just want it to show up as a secondary drive. How should I do this?

 

Thanks,

Thanks,

do ls /dev/disk/by-id/

 

and use the one that matches you device here

Thanks @SimonF,

A couple of questions, my looks a little different, as I don't have Serial: option. And I should put the main disk id, and not the partition right? Why is it asking for Disk Size?

You need to include /dev/disk/by-id/Samsung....... as the path from the ls shoud have nvme- or usb- at start

 

yes the disk.
