I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 inside a VirtualBox VM (with macOS 11.6.2 as the host).
I have an SSD in a USB external drive enclosure (SIIG ASMT1053 USB 3.0 to SATA 2.5" Enclosure), connected to the host. I've gone through the steps to ensure VirtualBox passes the USB device through to the Ubuntu guest.
When I connect the USB device to the host, it is detected by the Ubuntu guest. However, no entry is created under /dev (e.g. /dev/sdb), so I can't partition or mount it.
I'd appreciate any help determining why no device is created, and figuring out how I can format, partition, and mount this drive.
