A usb disk cannot be a datastore.

a usb disk for the vm has to be passed through

What are you exactly trying to do, a USB should not be used as Datastore or from my experience i have used the USB to install the ESXi on the host for which you have to make a boot able ESXi USB. if you any further questions please let me know.
