USB Harddrive/storage support on a MacMini6,1? Not showing up...

Hello,

The USB ports on this mac def work. I was able to install ESXi 6 and everything works fine.. except I can not get any Flash Drives or my Seagate 3TB external drive to show up in vSphere.

USB keyboards work, Ethernet and HDMI work excellent as well... ESXi is installed to the internal stock 500gig HDD of the mac mini... and apart from the USB drive issue everything is great, I love esxi6.

Perhaps I just dont know how to mount the hardware, but does anyone have any ideas of how I can attach USB Storage to my ESXi6 host a macmini6,1?

Anyone know how I can verify that the host is even seeing the USB hardware?

Thanks,

Ron
