Just a quick note on how to get USB 3.0 in Virtualbox for VMs that were
|
||
|
|
created with USB 1.1 support only. First, download VirtualBox Extension
|
||
|
|
Pack from [here](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads). Install
|
||
|
|
it. Then quit Virtualbox completely. Go to your directory that contains
|
||
|
|
your virtual machine and edit `.vbox` file. Replace the whole
|
||
|
|
`<USBController>` section with the following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```xml
|
||
|
|
<USB>
|
||
|
|
<Controllers>
|
||
|
|
<Controller name="xHCI" type="XHCI"/>
|
||
|
|
</Controllers>
|
||
|
|
<DeviceFilters/>
|
||
|
|
</USB>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That's it, let me know if it works for you !
