Too many reports of bad interactions with Fusion over the years, so making sure it's not contributing to problems would be a good isolation step.

I'd also take Paragon software out of the mix and test. However if I plug it into a USB2 hub connected to the same computer, no problems. I have an older OWC USB2 enclosure that will inevitably disconnect when the Mac goes to sleep if I have it plugged into a USB3 powered hub. MacOS' USB implementation has been a bit flaky recently with some USB devices. There's a workaround, which involves sharing the external drive by name in VMware's sharing and accessing it in the guest's /mnt/hgfs folder, but this is awkward, especially when the external drive is a USB thumb-drive with an unknown name, which suffers from the same problems trying to connect directly to the guest.Īm I missing something? Is there a way to get this capability working? I have a 10-year old iMac, also running VMware Fusion, which had no problem with you been able to determine what exactly is failing? The USB thumb drives or the USB3/SCSI drives? Or both? Are you using a USB 2 or USB 3 hub? This has worked occasionally, and I've been able to do file copies from drive to drive within the guest OS, but mostly the connection just fails silently, and I have to disconnect the drive, reconnect it, and connect to the host when the dialog presenting the choice is displayed. On the other hand, if I chose to connect to the guest Ubuntu Linux OS, the connection goes into limbo and never shows up there - nor is it even represented in the guest's /dev pseudo-filesystem, so it's not making it through VMware. The external drive shows up in the Mac Finder. If I opt to connect to the Mac, again no problem. If a guest OS is running, I'm presented with a dialog asking whether I want to connect the drive to the host, or to the Linux guest OS.

If no guests are running, these external drives connect through the Mac OS with no problems and show up in the Mac Finder.
These HDDs bear various formats, some of which are natively understood by MacOS and some supported by Paragon's extFS. I have several SATA hard drives with USB3 adapters, and several USB thumb drives which can be connected to the host's USB ports.
I'm running a couple of versions of Ubuntu as guest OSes on a Mac (3.6 GHz 10-Core Intel Core i9, Monterey v12.1) under VMware Profefssional 12.2.1.
