[SOLVED] Mounting USB Hard Drive in QEMU

I have a computer with Arch Linux and QEMU already installed on /dev/sda. I can use QEMU to boot the latest arch ISO with the cdrom option. On this computer, I have a USB external hard drive on /dev/sdb. Is there any way to mount the external hard drive in QEMU? I'm pretty sure all that needs to be done is to USB passthrough the external drive.

Worked perfectly.
I was reading the same article earlier but was trying to figure out how to mount a partition in the VM instead of USB passthrough.
