Description
NOTE: This may be a duplicate of ticket #17020. That issue appears to be the exact same problem and is not resolved.
On VirtualBox Version 6.0.6 r130049 (Qt5.6.3), using dd to write to SD Card using an external USB SD Card device has an error.
"dd: error writing '/dev/sde': No space left on device"
I am using a process I have previously used through VirtualBox and an external USB-A SD Card device to write to our stocked SD Cards. For simplicity, I used the same image that previously worked.
The host MacOS 10.14.4 has no issues with the exact same command. NOTE: On host MacOS, may use "brew install pv iozone"
Using "iozone", I established the max "write" speed at 7 MiB/s to our in stock, SanDisk Edge 16GB Micro SD HC 1 "4". We've been using these same SD Cards for years.
USB-C SD Card device on host MacOS completes correctly, at about 2.7MiB/s. I validated this SD Card on target hardware and it is correct.

USB-C SD Card device on VirtualBox Ubuntu 16 error at this repeatable number of records out. Note the speed is too fast for this device.

USB-A SD Card device on VirtualBox Ubuntu 16 also failed. NOTE: This process and this exact USB-A SD Card device worked on some older version of VirtualBox, but unknown what that was because I did that about a year ago.

After powering off the VM and starting it again, using the USB-C SD Card device fails in a different way. Write speed is reasonable, but still has an error.
