MacBook Pro 15 inch Retina
Mac OS 10.9.4
VMWare Fusion 6.0.4
In VMware Fusion 6.0.4 with a Windows 7 64 bit virtual machine, I set the USB compatibility mode to USB 2.0. But when I connect an external USB 3 SSD drive directly to the laptop, Windows 7 displays a "could not find driver" error. Why would it do this? If the USB compatibility mode is set to USB 2.0, shouldn't that make the laptop USB port act like a USB 2.0 port in the virtual machine?
Also, can VMware update the VMware Tools in Fusion to include a USB 3.0 driver for Windows 7?
