Can't add external hdd drive to TrueNAS Scale VM

[andz.dhika]

Hi All,

I am new to Proxmox and need some help with how to attach or add all my usb external storage, in my case I use "ORICO-3559C3" with 5-bays HDD drive.

My goal is to provide ZFS storage to the VMs in Proxmox (with TrueNAS-Scale),
I have VM 100 with TrueNAS Scale 22.12 on My Baremetal Server (Lenovo ThinkSystem SR550, RAM 64GB),
I have plugged "ORICO-3559C3" into USB3 Port on my Server, however, it shows only 3 USB (Ext.HDD Drive) when I want to create "ZFS Pool" on TrueNAS VM, the remaining 2 are still stuck in "drives on node pve" section.

my config VM 100 :

Spoiler: cat /etc/pve/qemu-server/100.conf

root@pve-sirs:~# cat /etc/pve/qemu-server/100.conf
boot: order=scsi0;net0
cores: 4
machine: q35
memory: 24576
name: TrueNAS
net0: virtio=66:28:FF:CA:40:15,bridge=vmbr0

ostype: l26

scsihw: virtio-scsi-pci

usb1: host=2-4.3.1,usb3=1
usb2: host=2-4.3.2,usb3=1
usb3: host=2-4.3.3,usb3=1
usb4: host=2-4.3.4,usb3=1
vmgenid: 4999158f-840c-4b84-9e25-64e7fad3d526

I've changed the configuration with USB Vendor /Device ID:

usb0: host=2109:0715,usb3=1
usb1: host=2109:0715,usb3=1
usb2: host=2109:0715,usb3=1
usb3: host=2109:0715,usb3=1
usb4: host=2109:0715,usb3=1

but the result is the same, it still doesn't work.

I would greatly appreciate any constructive suggestions or help from the forum.

USB passthrough is fully emulated and not great for devices that need alot of throughput and low latency like HDDs.
Try to use disk passthrough as virtio scsi single: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Passthrough_Physical_Disk_to_Virtual_Machine_(VM)

what do you mean, combining the 5 usb drives into 1 single Scsi drive? or just convert it into SCSI mode?
coz I need full 5 drive detected on my TrueNAS for ZFS Pool with RAIDZ.

Can u please tell me step by step, Thanks Bro @Dunuin .

Passing through those 5 disks as virtual SCSI disks.
