You have three options: 1) Expose it as -hdb /dev/sdb 2) Expose it as an emulated USB disk -usbdevice disk:/dev/sdb 3) Pass it through directly to the guest by disabling Linux from using the device and then passing it through with -usbdevice host:x.y #1 will perform the best #2 will give you the give you the most flexibility (you can remove the disk and insert at run time) #3 would allow you to support exotic disks that go beyond the standard mass storage specification. I'd recommend using #2.
