Support for Thunderbolt 3/4 Devices on macOS

[jason19970210]

As mentioned in the title, I am using Apple M1 Chip MacBook Pro 2021, but UTM cannot recognized the Thunderbolt hard drive which disk type has been formatted to ExFAT.

Please make it happen in future !! Thanks a lot.

Environment:  
macOS Monterey 12.3.1  
UTM Version : 3.1.5

Are you asking for a Thunderbolt passthrough feature for macOS guests?

This will not be possible without macOS changes. I believe Parallels has asked Apple for this years ago and nothing has happened so far...

Any updates?

So with Parallels version 20.2 I can mount a thunderbolt mass storage device without issue. So it's possible. Not sure if they have a special deal with Apple though to make this functionality possible.
