January 12, 20179 yr Hi all, I have a 250GB SSD that I want passed through to my main 'gaming' VM as I'm feeling a bit of lag and slow speeds when using a vdisk on the cache drive. I looked at the thread here: https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=48340.0 and attempted to add the entire hdd to the VM but I get the following error message: Not a valid block device location '/dev/disk/by-id/Samsung_SSD_850_EVO_250GB_S21PNXAG664859P' I'm specifying '/dev/disk/by-id/Samsung_SSD_850_EVO_250GB_S21PNXAG664859P' when creating a fresh VM under the Primary Vdisk location (Setting it to manual). Any ideas what would be causing this error? Thanks!
January 13, 20179 yr This is what my pass-through command looks like /dev/disk/by-id/ata-Crucial_CT525MX300SSD1_163313AAD0A9 Also edit your VM templet and make sure your Primary vDisk bus is set to SATA
January 13, 20179 yr Author Thank you! Fresh pair of eyes really helped. Added the missing -ata and now all working.
December 20, 20187 yr Does passing the device to the VM like this allow SSD TRIM to be performed from the guest?

Followed this to the T. Showed up in the VM was even able to import the foreign raid. Didn't even lose my archive video footage. BRILLIANT!! Thanks for this post.
April 13, 20206 yr Can you passthrough a SATA disk connected to MB through sata-to-usb adapter? what would the above command look like then? cheers

So are you trying to passthru already mounted device and possible part of the array? To attach drive to vm it has to be unassigned and not used by unraid for anything.
