I am intending building a workstation/server that has a few VM's.
I'd planning to use Supermicro X9SCM-iiF with Xeon E3-1230v2 and 16 GB ram, or maybe SM X9SRL-F with tbd CPU.
One VM will be a gaming / video production using
a discreet graphics card
add on audio card
Perc 6i raid card
add on USB3.
A second VM can operate headless but I need a sata controller passed through to it.
I have used Esxi but no experience with VMware Workstation. I just know I can pass controllers directly in ESXi and I need that functionality.
Does workstation provide that direct passthrough like ESXi?
Thanks for help. Any comments are appreciated.
