Hi,

i have VirtualBox install on my ubutun 15.10.
I created a windows VM and now i would like to make 3 HDD (physically) available in my VM in order to repair and recover data from them.
those 3 HDD are from my RAID and till now i was able only to make them available in my VM using USD sata adpaters but it is a slow operation and using directly computer sata controller would be faster i guess.

So how can i do that ?
how can i see as HDD those 3 RAID disks in order to run under windows VM the application to recover data from them ?
thx

See section 9.9 in the user manual. Be aware that this is an experts only feature, that a mistake could lead to the total and unrecoverable loss of all the data on your host PC. For that reason you will get very little help with the feature here.
