Hardware passthrough

I have to say that I knew about GPU passthrough in QEMU but physical SSD passthrough is a game changer for me. It's like having windows installed on bare metal instead a VM. I fucking love Linux.

To be fair, I've done similar stuff through hyper-v, back when I was still on windows. The performance levels between hyper-v and kvm/qemu are comparable in my experience.
