### Step 11.4b — Add USB 3.0 PCIe card to VM 100

Still in VM 100's **Hardware** tab. Click **Add** → **PCI Device**.

First, identify the card's PCI address on the Proxmox host:

```bash

# Look for the PCIe card — e.g.:

### Step 11.10 — Create VM 102 (Windows 11, Sync.com)
|
||||
|

VM 102 is a Windows 11 VM that runs the Sync.com desktop client for cloud
|
||||

# Use one of your spare HDDs — Sync.com data lives here (formatted NTFS in Windows)

qm set 102 -scsi1 /dev/disk/by-id/PLACEHOLDER_SYNC_DRIVE
