Tested two of these Vantec cards in 3 different PCIeX16 slots except for the primary video card slot, they both were broke down into separate IOMMU groups for each controller except in one PCIeX4 slot in which it was grouped together with many other MB resources. The cards I got have both a SATA and molex connector. The card will detect with a SATA power connector but it won't function without the molex connector (ie: Don't use the SATA power connector.)

Stubbing 1912:0015 allows all four to display in the VM editor as separate devices. The USB slot farthest from the PCIe connector is the first device listed, closest is the 4th device listed.  Thumb drives, external drives, and USB2 web cams worked without issue but my 4K Brio's did not.

I was never able to get that one to work, so I went on a spree lately and bought all of the mutlicontroller cards I could find that aren't the sonet. The only card I found that works is  https://www.amazon.com/High-Point-PCI-Express-RocketU-1144D/dp/B015CQ8DCS/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=highpoint+usb&qid=1554312606&s=electronics&sr=1-1  which shows up as 4 asmedia controllers and works a treat.

Excellent! I'll pick up a couple of those if these Vantec's don't work. All the parts for the new build are in, starting to assemble.

I'm still unable to get mine to find a USB root hub in the VMs. did you do anything outside of stubbing the device?  I assume you just did the pci-id.vfio stubbing? 

I used pci-stub.ids to stub the card. I'm not familiar with "pci-id.vfio"

Hey John and Newbie,

I've been scouring the net for one of the pro sonnets without much success and came across your discussion.

I was wondering if I could ask two questions to get some clarity in these very muddy waters...

I'd like to pass 4 independent ports to 4 Win10 VMs - Did you both end up with root hubs working in your VMs?  And in the end which card worked for you?

Thanks!

Armando

I did, but it would not work with high speed USB3 devices such as my Brio 4K web cams. The other one I got worked well and I'm using it in my builds.
