I know you can with USB storage device. I have not tried other USB devices.

This can be done, but the device gets passed and is accessible to every VM on the host. (unless this way recently changed).
-
@dustinb3403 You can add it as a storage device to the VM itself.

The last that I recall looking at doing this, the only way to do it was to pass the device to every VM, and then disconnect it from the VM's that didn't need it.
When did it change?
-
@dustinb3403 no idea but it just worked for me
-
@hobbit666 hrm..
I wonder what they changed because that was a huge pain in the rear to get going on 6 and 6.5. . .

I just got done talking to Amazon about a 512GB Samsung 960 PRO SSD I bought that was clearly tampered with. I plugged it in and it already had Windows installed on it... ok, weird... Go to format, see that it's only a 256GB. Unplug it and examine closer, it's pretty obvious the guy took the Samsung stickers off and placed them on a 256GB Hynix SSD, then returned that for a refund.
Anyway, I plug it back in and start snooping, he has loads of homework on there with his name all over it, address in documents, etc... Bonus is that Amazon said I could keep this one and they're sending a new one next day.

You know in movies when people do a 180 in their car and then as they pull away they fishtail? It is a classic movie car chase bit. I did that this morning on the ice, it was lots of fun.

This is why in usually only buy the stuff direct from Amazon/Newegg rather than through random sellers that appear there.
-
@momurda It was direct from Amazon! The chat support lady was like "Let pull up the order so I can report the seller" then she's like ohhh it was us, I'm so sorry, new one will be there tomorrow.

I'm considering if I want to stand up Grafana to monitor a few systems for performance. Not sure if I actually need it though or not. .

wow... I won't let drives go without nuking them... and most of time, I strip them down, keep the platters to fireball later.
I don't trust much.. I take hammers to USB and mcSD cards.
