Another option that would provide the best performance is attaching the drive
to a SR-IOV capable HBA's VF and then using VFIO to attach the VF to your VM.
The LSI SAS 2308 series is the most affordable choice for this at around $50-70
for an 8 internal port adapter (which can support up to 256 drives via expander
cards)
a little off-topic for this thread but i'm curious how do sr-iov work on raid
controllers?
do you assign drives or volumes via controller software that then shows up as
VFs? and that VF i assume appears like a disk by itself so vm don't need to
know much about it.
i mean, not all drives/volumes can show up as VF since i bet host need some
drives to boot from too, right?
