Hello guys,
I mostly use virtualbox to emulate calculation softwares on Ubuntu (guest) on my W10 machine (host), which use lot of memory. I often don't know the space required for my calculation programs on my guest machines, and sometimes, it goes up to the memory limit of my virtual machine, and I can't open it anymore. On my real computer, I have an OS running on an SSD and multiple SATA to store all my data so that kind of problem can't happen.
I tried doing the same thing on my Ubuntu guest, by adding other SATA controlers, which would represent my SATA storages, but then I can't access them from my guest machine. Is what I want to do possible ? Did I do the right way but missed the following steps ? Did I do something wrong ?
Thank you for your halp,
Have a nice day,
Guillaume

Re: Multiple hard drive on VirtualBox
One SATA controller should be plenty, since it allows (from memory) up to 32 drives. It's drives you should be adding, not controllers.
