Cannot attach 4TB external Sandisk SSD

[gus4rs]

Describe the issue
Trying to attach an 4TB external Sandisk SSD to a Fedora Linux 37 guest, but it doesn't work. The device is associated in the top menu but it's impossible to read it from the VM. USB compatibility is set to 3.1 in the config (the highest).

Configuration

• UTM Version: 4.1.6
• macOS Version: Ventura 13.2.1
• Mac Chip: Apple M2 Max

Debug log
dmesg outputs this:

[  521.085331] usb 5-3: new high-speed USB device number 15 using xhci_hcd

Same here.

Using UTM 4.2.5 on macOS Ventura 13.3 on MBP M1 late 2021 with Ubuntu 22.04 guest. I use a Samsung T7 external 2TB HDD (the small credit card sized blue one).

But no drive shows up in Ubuntu. ls -al /dev/sd* only shows the local virtual HDD images (sdaX).

So this is indeed a bug? I simply cannot read an SSD disk from the guest virtual machine or is there a workaround?

I just tested in UTM 4.2.5 and the problem still persists. Also as suggested in another issue I captured the output of a test usb program:

$ ./testlibusb
Dev (bus 0, device 2): 0781 - 55AF speed: 10G
  Manufacturer:              SanDisk

seems to be duplicate of #3995

workaround is going through a USB hub
