More secure too. Ah yes. I too use qvm-block for my sata devices. What I neglected to mention was that several of my USB devices implement hardware encryption (that replaces a small read-only volume with the main read-write volume after unlock). The strategy choice then was a) unlock via sys-usb and utilize qvm-block or b) connect usb chipset to disposable VM and unlock there. I chose the latter.

Is this a SATA or USB hard drive? SATA: On my primary thinkpad, running qubes R4 current-testing (essentially at least v4.0.2), while *sda* is not available for attachment to devices (as that is the boot disk) all the other SATA devices are available for attaching: sdb, sdc (and, when the eSATAp and/or dock is attached, sdd and sde) to VMs. Any valid partitions as well. USB: I generally have not attached USB drives (utilizing the USB IP support via `qvm-usb` aka `qvm-device usb`) to VMs as I find it slow and sometimes buggy. Instead I attach the PCI device encompassing the USB controller utilizing `qvm-device pci` with an HVM, which may be a luxury that other users don't always have (this laptop has three USB PCI devices, one of which is via expresscard).
