Hi, I'm relatively new to virtualization in Truenas Scale, and I'm not sure whether this can be achieved. As many of you know, workstation motherboards typically include one or two USB 2.0 9-pin headers. In Truenas Scale, is it possible to passthrough at least one of these USB 2.0 9-pin header to a windows virtual machine? Thanks

I did some testing and confirm that the USB 2.0 header on the mobo can be passed through to a windows VM in Truenas Scale. I have an RGB controller attached to the USB 2.0 header and I just had to go to "Device" in Virtual Machines under TN Scale / looked at the drop down, I was able to see the RGB controller there. Once I turn it the VM on, WIndows could see the RGB header.
