I've recently installed DS918+ on ESXi 6.7, but i have problems with passthrough.
I have Asrock J3455-ITX board which have builed in second sata controller (Asmedia). For storage I'm using two 8TB WD drives that were took out of MyBook external drives.
I set Asmedia controller to be passthrough to VM with DSM, but once I create Volume on RAID1 pool, I start getting write errors on drives. I tried also external PCIE-X sata controller on Marvell chipset and got the same issue. Errors starts to appear once I'm writing to drives. Issue does not appear once drives are RDMs. Below is a screenshot for reference. Some text is in Polish, but you get the idea
Did some one of you has some simmilar issues of know what can be the reason of this
