The usb creator is not USB 3.0, USB 3.1 and USB 3.2 compatible. Add this feature please.

I don't have any USB 2.0 ports on my motherboard. It's 2020!

@zaptrem @D33jay

What USB drives are you guys using guys? I did discovered that LOTS of SanDisk usb's are LOCKED so they don't allow the program to make them bootable with OS's. The Kingston 100 G3 are the most cheap and stable ones so far i know of and fast A.F. Those drives do work, (i use them personally).

I was using a SanDisk stick. No other options.

Sadly I had to abandon Unraid when I realized I can’t use it exclusively for VFIO/KVM. I have a bunch of hard drives running different OSes that I wanted to run at the same time. Since I can’t do that without deleting them and turning them into a RAID array I had to keep looking elsewhere. Sadly it seems you guys are the only ones who support the i225-v NIC.

@zaptrem Actually you can? But you'll have to have fresh uninstalled HDD's or SSD's. What if you try to clone them and setup VM's in UNRAID with those cloned images? Normally that should work, and unraid supports VM.

My goals are a bit weird. I need to be able to run two whole hard drives in two VMs, passing through my GPU to one (Windows) and iGPU to another (MacOS). However, it's important that these remain direct bootable for times when I need peak performance. Also, eventually USB stick or my PC will die, and recovery will be easier.

Cloning them can't be done either as they're the only drives I have.
