If you mean he was asking about USB rather than IDE or SATA, then yes,
though I wouldn't characterize it as a "USB disk" vs. "raw disk access".
You can access USB disks in raw mode too.

As I think I said or implied, but no matter.

Anyway, there's an additional point which Michael Miles brought up but
the OP seems not to have noticed, i.e. you can only access USB devices
with the non-free version of VBox. That's the main limitation of the
open source version from the Fedora repos and the reason I can't use it.
