Make sure to disable usbarbitrator prior to plug the USB drive into your ESXi host. The usbarbitrator service needs to be stopped so that the ESXi has access to it. When you connect a USB device to an ESXi host, the usbarbitrator service claims it to make it available for virtual machines. There are plenty of options that you can use as Datastores: In this example, I'm using a USB 3.0 to NGFF M.2 case. Please be aware that using USB Datastores is not supported by VMware so be careful when using this method with sensitive data. Adding USB devices as datastores was also possible in previous versions, but in vSphere 7 it has become even easier. This article explains how to add USB devices as Datastores in VMware ESXi 7.0.
