Passthrough a Terramaster to a TrueNas VM

[Nearly3285]

I am a noob that is currently running TrueNas Scale in a VM on Proxmox.

I am in the middle moving my server over to a new machine which is a laptop. I purchased the DAS, Terramaster D4-320 below. When I followed the instructions to do a HD pass-through. I noticed that the device itself was listed after the command lshw -class disk -class storage. My questions is do I pass-through the device as well or just the Drives to my Truenas VM?

I currently have two 18tb Harddrive but only have one of them in the DAS as you can see below. I don't want to risk accidently formatting both as I am still new to hosting my own data. Both drives were in a mirror before the hew hardware.

Just testing Terramaster D4-320 on intel N100 with proxmox/passthrough to truenas


sdc, sde, sdf, sdg are usb hard disk from Terramaster D4-320


Drives detected on proxmox host (note the 10000M, not 5000M)
driver was uas (not usbfs) before passthrough



Individual port passthrough to the VM (truenas)



Disk visible in truenas with correct type and serial number



Everything works at the cumulated speed of 4 disks thanks to the 10gbps of USB 3.2
No error, no disconnection, everything reported in smartctl

I'm interested in getting a D4-320 as well for a space-constrained HP Microserver Gen11, how stable has this setup been?

My setup has been very stable. I do need to replace one of the disks soon but that has absolutely nothing to do with the DAS. It works great for me. I never had to passthrough the device itself, just the disks and everything has been working .

I did have to buy another USB C cable because they one that came with it is too short.
