Description
USB transfer is quite slow (#4261), I mainly use USB transfer for harddisks. Sharing the harddisk as a raw vmdk is much faster once you set up, but also requires dropping down to the command line and running obscure commands like
"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" internalcommands createrawvmdk -rawdisk \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE2 -filename "C:\ProgramData"\raw2.vmdk
If I could share the raw disks and partitions by just going "Devices > Raw Storage > ..." in the GUI, similar to how USB is now, that would be much more convenient.

I don't think that we will ever add such an option to the GUI: It's an advanced feature not meant for regular users. Sorry.
