jbartlett Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NVVSXIQ/ $79.38 Driver: https://vantecusa.com/products_detail.php?p_id=119#tab-3 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.

Jerky_san Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Thanks for the info. Hope your build goes well. Link to comment
scratch Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 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. Link to comment
scratch Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I would love to hear if you manage to get the vantec to work. It looks like such a great card and right now it's just sitting in my junk drawer. Link to comment
jbartlett Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 Updated the first post, the cards did successfully break out the controllers into different IOMMU slots. Now will test with VM's. Link to comment
jbartlett Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 So far, I can see the USB3 controllers in a Win10 VM but Windows is reporting that the device cannot start. I've tried the drivers from the support website, next is to create an ISO from the driver CD that it came with and install from that. Link to comment
jbartlett Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 Success! Updated the OP. Link to comment
scratch Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 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? Link to comment

scratch Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 sorry I meant vfio-pci.ids which I had read was the preferred way to pass PCI devices to KVM Link to comment

Calamari Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 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 Link to comment

Tritech Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 @jbartlett Off topic, but do you have a single controller card you can recommend, preferably 4 port that plays nice with usb3? Looking for something in the sub $50 usd range. Link to comment
