gregregreg Posted February 1, 2021 Share #1 Posted February 1, 2021 Hello everyone, Is it possible to connect physical sata hard drive with raw *.vmdk to Xpenology on ESXI host as external USB device? I can connect it easy as normal hard drive but i have to setup new partition and delete all data. I would like to connect my sata hard drive as usb stick because I want move it between another host without loosing data. Thanks a lot.

flyride Posted February 1, 2021 Share #2 Posted February 1, 2021 This would require a virtual USB disk, which is not a feature in ESXi. This is why the loader is a disk image - because there is no way to connect it via USB. Just buy a $20 pluggable dock, put your drive in it and pass it through.
